If I Could

If I could write music
It would be the tune that sank Titanic
If I could write a song
It would be the lyric that brought forth tears
If I could sing a love song
It would be a melody sweet to unite us
If I could paint a picture
It would be a painting to reflect you forever
If I could dream dreams
It would be you who fills them
If I could work miracles
It would be for us to be together
If I could go seven years back
It would be for us to start all over
If I could sniff a scent
It would be your fragrance that I smell
If I could make one last wish
It would be to bring you back to my arms
If I could make time kinder
It would be long enough for us to love
If I could read the secrets of your mind
It would be fair for me to make it up to you
If I could get another chance to love you
It would be the opportunity for me to prove it
If someone could mend a broken heart
It would be you, only you
I'd say lovely and moving
timely especially when Christmas is around

That is a beautiful poem. I cannot describe how I felt.
