Foolish Love

If I knew that today would be the last time that I would see you,

I would hug you tight,

pray, the Lord, be the keeper of your soul.

If I knew that this would be the last time that I would see you pass through this door,

I would embrace you, 

kiss you—

call you back.

If I knew that this would be the last time that I would hear your voice,

I would take a hold of each word and store it,

pull them out one by one, and listen to them over again...

If I knew, 

If I knew, I would tell you that I love you,

Shout it for the world to hear,

If I knew, 

I wouldn't take you for granted.

I'd want you to know—

foolish love,

If, I knew.
