If Only

If only
 there was a chance
 that could turn time back
 in precise circles warm embracing
 those tender moments 
that would always be
 only yours and mine
forever remembered.

How precious is the love
 that slips in unexpected
 but undeniable
 and were we aware then 
 to keep it close
when the heart recognizes it
 but today it is just a ghost
of the if onlys we have lost.

We are all haunted by what might have been. Great read. Have a great day.
