If

IF


If only then the road were straighter
The years to reach the turn fewer
If only   grass were newer
And frost  had come later - 
come later in year,
 Still I would take 
the way  free ,
only
if -


Only if its path were bound for here.
For here is the only  certain
Destination known to me
Where life is good and we’re
Here  together free,
Enjoying  the
Pleasure of
Both our 
Souls  -

Souls which could drift in eternity
If the past were changed and events
Occurred to produce not you,
But  femininity
Equally nice and
Beautiful ,  but 
She simply
Was not 
You.
