Mary Benim Poet Free verse

If Only

TAKE ME
BACK
JUST ONE MORE TIME
TO A HAPPY DAY
FROM YESTERDAY.
A DAY WHEN WE
SMILED AND LAUGHED
TOGETHER.
I'LL MEMORIZE EVERY
MOMENT, EVERY
MOVEMENT FROM
THAT DAY.
I'LL NEVER AGAIN
FORGET
THE WAY YOUR EYES
WOULD DANCE
WHEN YOU SMILED.
I'LL REMEMBER THE
SCENT OF YOUR COLOGNE
AND HOW I FELT
WHEN YOU HELD ME.
JUST ONE DAY IS ALL
I NEED
TO HOLD ON TO.
THE WAY IT WOULD HAVE
ALWAY BEEN-
     IF ONLY...
