If Only...


If only I could 
Turn back the
Hands of Time...
To stop all the tears,
to make it all right.
To keep the friendship,
we had built so tight.

If only I could 
Turn back the
Hands of Time...
To see her face again
just one last time.
To hear her laugh
and say, "Everything's fine!"

If only I could 
Turn back the
Hands of Time...
Never having to think
that she's gone forever.
Always asking why
all this pain we endeavor.

If only I could 
Turn back the
Hands of Time...
Could it be...
that I'll see her again?
When I go to heaven
reunited as friends.

I wrote that poem for my friend Courtney who passed away in a car accident in September 2000.
