I Would If I Could
If I could,
I would,
Write a book of how sorry I am.
If I could,
I would,
But I cannot,
Express how much I’m sorry.
If I could,
I would,
Love you to the end,
Even if death is around the bend.
If I could,
I would,
Hold so very close,
But love seems much too intangible to touch.
If I could,
I would,
Cry you a river,
Just so I could drown in it.
If I could,
I would,
Tell you that I’m sorry,
Call me a coward,
But this is all I have.
