If you really knew me.
You would hold me tight,
even if I said I was alright.

If you really saw me.
You would smile and wave,
and then I would know I’ve been saved.

If you really heard me.
You wouldn’t say good bye,
even after the day I die.

If you really loved me.
You would of stayed forever,
and we would of always been together.

If you only knew.

Time is an important thing but it is also the cause of a lot of pain;Some wish for it to go faster while others wish for it to go faster.Then there are those that wish it could just end. So enjoy the time in life you are given and don&#039;t worry so much.
