If Only Time Could Go Back

If only time could turn around, To days where love, like rivers, found, The laughter shared in sunlit haze, Where hearts would dance in joy's embrace. If only I could grasp once more, The fleeting moments we adore, To steal a glance, to hold you near, And quiet all the creeping fear. I'd turn the hands of time in flight, To bask in warmth of sweet delight, No shadows of regret to trace, Just memories in a warm embrace. Yet time, it flows; it won't relent, And leaves behind what we lament, But still, in dreams, you linger near, In whispers soft, I hold you dear. If only time could go back still, I'd weave our hopes with iron will; In every heartbeat, love would grow, Together bound, forever flow
