- Home If Only  
By: Denise Brackman

Just when I think I've finally let go of us,
you pop back in my mind.
Will it always be this way?
Will you always be in my mind?
In my heart?
Reminding me of the love we shared.
If we had the chance to start again,
I know I would do it differently.
I would hold your love tightly in my heart,
ansd make sure it always stayed alive.
I tried to reach out to you,
but you smacked me back down saying you didn't want to start anything.
I've grown so much these last 2 years.
Come to realize the things that are most important in my life, things I let slip away, without a fight.
Realizing that I let go,
we both let go of a love that could have been so great.
If only we had worked with each other,
instead of against each other.
If only we had talked to each other,
without using words that hurt,
before we had let it get out of control.
If only....
