I Would

I Would

If I could only breathe,
Without fear of living
If I could only speak,
Without fear of deceiving

If I could only open my eyes and see,
Without being blinded by my rage

If only you were here...

If I could just talk to you once more,
Without expectation.
Just know of your warmth,
Without leaving me cold and lonely

If I could rewind this time,
And live just once more in your presence,

If only you were here...

If the day would just stop breaking,
And the night never ended,
If my pain would just leave,
I would be okay,

If only you were here...

About the Author

The author of Gone and I Would wished to remain anonymous. She said only this:

The only thing I want written about myself with this poem was that it was written for a good friend that we shouldn’t have lost and that Scottie will be in our hearts forever.
