Tristful Beauty

One More Minute (What If?)

What if I had spent One more Minute with you?

What if life hadn't dragged me away...

Would I be changed, or stay the same

Or would our friendship be something more?

Would my heart forever sing,

Or would I float with broken wings?

What if One more Minute changed my life...forever?

What if I had told you then...

Would your heart take me in?

What if One more Minute made a golden summer last

What if it gave me one last moment together

Or helped me forget my life's ever dreary weather.

Or helped me forget...you?

Alas, I'll never know-

My melancholy heart still feels like stone

The pain, the love, the tearful words

All still caged like weeping birds.

But what if one more minute changed it all?
