If only we met years ago,
                       when we were younger
                     and not so set in our ways,
                           means, principles,
                               other things  
                        We could have taught
                                each other
                           many, many things

                         The Greatest Books
                                ever written
                          Discussions of Freud
                                   reading
                           Gone With the Wind
                                  pretending
                                     to be
                           Scarlett O' Hara
                                   but then
                                   we both
                                     knew
                                     there 
                                  was more
                       to this human existence

                         Finding joy in our lives
                          Is our responsibility 
                       Loving you I did find joy, 
                          a calmness in my soul,
                        To care beyond caring
                        Never wanting to let go
               My deepest regret is not telling you
               
                  I would have given you my heart
