• If only time would stop,
    for all eternity,
    and start in little hops,
    just like maturity.

    If only I had left,
    before you tore my heart.
    The thing you still kept,
    after that dreaded dart.

    If only you had seen,
    what I had tried to scream.
    Yet they were so mean,
    and in the end you've lean.

    If only I had,
    never said goodbye.
    To such a young lad,
    whom never once did cry.

    If only I had been there,
    when you needed me most.
    To hold you with pure care,
    ever with your prideful boast.

    If only I had stopped you,
    from walking out that door.
    Then maybe you too,
    would not be gone to soar.
