Had I Known
By: Eve Estelle
Had I known it'd be the last time that I'd see or hear your voice,
I'd have cherished every word, and helped you to rejoice.
Had I known it'd be the last time that I'd hear you sing a song,
I'd have listened so closely, and helped you sing along.
Had I known, oh had I known, I would've done things so differently;
Had I seen, had I listened, I would've helped you instantly.
Had I known it'd be the last time, I'd make sure to say "I love you,"
Had I known it'd be the last time, I'd say it until you knew.
Had I known that it'd be the last time that you'd walk through the door,
I'd call you back and hug you, just for once more.
Had I known that it'd be.. the last time you'd fall asleep,
I'd have been by your side, as you made that final leap.
That is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine! :)
DeleteI think I've become a fan of your poetry :D ^_^
ReplyDeleteAmazing work! :D
Awe, that makes me so happy lol! Thank you, I'm glad you like it. If you ever have a specific topic that you'd like me to write about, do let me know. :)
DeleteBeautiful....i assumed it would be something like this when i read the title....so many things we do wrong and so many times we never learn,that's life i guess,sometimes you don't get another chance...
ReplyDeleteSo true, Seema, it's unfortunate that it's that way sometimes. Things like these do make for good lessons, though, if you manage to learn from them. I live by that one saying.. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" ;)
DeleteI second that.
DeleteThis is so beautiful. People should really think before they do something so they do not regret it in the end. Great work!
ReplyDeleteHope you can check out my blog. Let's keep in touch!

Yes, they should! However, we all end up doing it in the end (sometimes more than once), so we've just got to learn from those all-too-common mistakes. Thank you Sammie! Certainly, I'll check out your link now. :)
DeleteThis is so beautiful, it's making me want to cry. ;( Awesome poems as usual, Eve!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's me(Tudda Pudda) :D

Aww, no crying! lol. ;) Thank you so much, Tudda! New account?
DeleteHahaa too late. And yep!
DeleteI can really sense the emotion, the line about saying I love you really has brought some feelings out. This brought up feelings of somebody that I greatly miss, and although it hurts I'm thankful to be reminded, So thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to read things like this sometimes, when it reminds you of someone. I'm sorry for your hurting, but I know just what you mean when you say you're thankful to be reminded. Thank you so very much for reading and for your comment. :)
DeleteBeautiful. I lost my mother earlier this year. Your piece really hits home. Thank you ~ Lynne
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your mother, Lynne. My father just passed about three months ago as well. Thanks so much for the comment, and I'm glad that you liked the piece. Wish you nothing but the best!
DeleteWow. This is so beautiful, Eve. I can FEEL the emotion running through this piece. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Faith. :) This was written a couple of months after my dad passed, so yeah, definitely a lot of personal emotion in it.
