If only

All he had to do was tell her that he loved her
all he had to do was give her one last chance
regardless the times she ruined him
it is now too late for any sort of romance
way too late to even think about
any type of future
too late to take her back in his arms
He’s free of any torture.
a simple word, a simple smile, acceptance
she would still be here with us
but now all she is; is past tense
free of hurt, free of pain, free of any tears
leaving him in a cold world alone; facing all his fears.
maybe one day he will find
a better replacement
but only, if only, he could get her back for a moment.
words of i love you will scream out of his lips
tears of i miss you down his face would slip
if only that one second, he took his chance
to love her again, to start their new romance.
