IF I KNEW

If I knew then

What I know now

That time

Really does play tricks

That time will heal

That I’ll wish for more

That it’s a thief

And that it does… stop

When you hurt

Speeds up

When you’re laughing

I wouldn’t have

Cried so much

Wasted so much

I’d slow down

But also go faster

I’d close my eyes

And take more in

And let more go

I’d hug you more

Be nicer to you

Leave sooner

Arrive earlier

If I could remember now

What I thought I knew then

I’d try to know it all again

  1. Reading this beautiful poem, a song begins to play in my mind, “Time Is” by A Beautiful Day.

    “Time is too slow for those who wait
    And time is too swift for those who fear
    Time is too long for those who grieve
    And time is too short for those that laugh

    [Verse 2]
    And love is too slow for those who wait
    And love is too swift for those who fear
    Love is too long for those who grieve
    And love is too short for those that laugh

    [Chorus]
    But for those who love
    But for those who really love
    But for those who love
    Time
    Sweet time
    Precious time
    Lovely time
    All the time
    Time, time, time, time
    Time, time, time, time
    Time, time, time is eternity (Is eternity)”

    They feel to go together.
