If

a poem by Tiffany Morton

If I could take back goodbye
If I could take away all the pain
If I could stop the tears
I’d bring you back to me

If I could get over you
If I could find someone new
If I could just accept the truth
I’d let you go

If I could hide the pain
If I could hide the tears
If I could remind you of the wonderful years
I’d try and keep you

If I could find peace in my heart
If I could find forgiveness
If I could learn to trust again
I’d accept you back in

But I can’t forget
I can’t let go
I can’t hide the pain
And I can’t stop the tears
And find someone new
Because my life, my heart,
And soul belongs to you!!
