Had you not been there in my life
Would I have been a happier being?
Would the river of my thoughts not been meandering?
The deluge it causes would perhaps have ceased
And I would have reached my destination...the Sea.
Had you not been there in my thoughts
Would the nostalgic wind not been blowing?
The dunes of memories would perhaps have abraded
And the oasis of serenity distinctly loomed ahead.
Had I not been in love with you
Would my life have been a tinge brighter?
The endless moors would perhaps have been dotted with flowers
The parched land quenched with showers.
Had I the power to retrace the steps of time
Would I have taken the path you would not have tried?
Living with you would have been a dream unseen
Forcing you out of my mind
A struggle unknown.
