Have

Had I those mesmerizing eyes,
To stare at all my days.
Had I that luscious lips,
To kiss and sing of praise.
Had I those rosy cheeks,
To bathe my lips upon.
Had I those perfect hands,
To intertwine with mine as one. 
Had I that incomplete heart,
To fill with the pieces of my own.
Had I that perfectly imperfect person,
That I could call my own.
But there's this fact that 
It wouldn't have been sad,
If I just had started with
"Have" and not "Had".
