If Only We Knew Poem by Tatiana Mshipe
If Only We Knew
We don't know it yet until they gone
All the moments we took for granted
All the time we didn't care
The time we considered endlessly till the clock is ticking and we watch them in their last few seconds
How did i go wrong
How was i so stupid
Had all this time on my hands but never used it with you
Always procrastinating spending time with you
I took you for granted
Depreciated your worth like you weren't worth my time but still you stuck around
So blind i was i never took the time to appreciate you and now its down to the goodbyes and my heart aches with all the things we could have done
Now with tears down my face i write this
My paper damp now but my heart aches on so i write some more
Wish i could wind back the clock
I would warn the past me
And tell them how precious you are
So they don't make the same mistake as i did
