Twenty Years On Poem by Mary Champion

If I saw him, would I know him?
Twenty years on.
If I saw him, would I want him?
It's been so long.
If we should chance to meet
would my heart still skip a beat?
Would l love him, like I loved him
twenty years on?

Twenty years on, there's hardly been a day
I've not thought about the price I had to pay
for loving him and losing out,
for the tears, the fears, the doubt.
Would I risk another heart break?
Twenty years on.

If he called me would I answer?
Twenty years on.
Would he still be a romancer?
Twenty years on.
If we should chance to meet
would my heart still skip a beat?
Would l love him, like I loved him
Twenty years on?

Twenty years on have I got much more sense
than I had when I was swept up by events?
I acted like a crazy fool,
but now could I play it cool.
If I met him would I want him?
Twenty years on.

Don't know why I can't forget him,
twenty years on.
Wish to God I'd never met him-
it was all wrong.
Why can't I just let go?
there's no point in this I know.
Will I still be dreaming of him
Twenty years on?
