If I Knew

If I knew then
  what I know now,
   would it change all my yesterdays
    to mold and form these existing todays?
how different life would be
  but that was then and I naive
   learning life's in and outs achieved
    determining what I firmly believe.
It was an education explored
   a lesson plan exposed
    in every step of open doors 
     of memories en-closed.
And you, if you knew
  every feared step well taken
   was made with love and its heartbreaking
    changed us, bonded trust in its very making.
These years and time have passed
  and love was more a feeling than a task
   I would keep it as destiny forecast,
    hold on tight, life just moves too fast.

I have often thought I should have done this or that, but I realized back then it didn't matter much...A poem of reflection...
