Wish I Knew You When I Was Young

If only I knew you when I was young,
            maybe love’s melodies would be sung-
We’d begin a life together so sweet, 
    inhale your beauty through each lung, 
you’d sweep me off my delicate feet.

            It seems that wishes are for the weary, 
a way to escape a life of the leery-
   If moonbeams could’ve brought us together,
maybe my eyes wouldn’t be so teary,
              and we’d grow old and gray until forever.

                 When I was young I wish we were in love, 
soaring freely like an ivory dove-
   We’d laugh and stand a fighting chance,
a gift of hope from the angels up above;
         a life we would’ve lived of passion and romance.  

        Youth had its way and I knew not of you,
it gave you innocence and made me blue-
              When God created time, I should’ve been
your one and only dream come true-
                                 Oh, sweet man…if only I knew you when.
