Roy Pett Poet Couplet

If Only

If only we could turn back time,

If only you had given me a sign,

If only I had the courage been brave,

If only your soul I'd been able to save,

If only You know how Much you were adored,

If only our broken hearts could be restored,

If only I knew then what I know now,

If only we didn't have that awful row,

If only your illness could have been cured,

If only our love for each other was assured,

If only I hadn't made you unhappy I cried,

If only you lived my love and not died,

If only.
