If I had known today

that this was going to be

the very last day of summer

I would have treated it differently.

 

I would have planned better

to enjoy it more

I would have lingered longer

let it seep into my core.

 

I would have stayed outside

longer than I should

I would have roast marshmallows

just because I could.

 

If only I had known.

 

If I had known today

that this was to be

our last day together

I would have treated it differently.

 

I would have planned better

to enjoy it more

I would have lingered longer

and let our bond seep into my core.

 

I would have stayed and visited

longer than I should

and said, “I love you,”

just because I could.

 

If only I had known.
