If I could turn back the hands of time,
I would savor the moment I first saw you.
The moment I first gazed upon you,
When you didn’t see me, but I saw you.
If only I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time,
Forever will I relive our first moments.
Every time I glared your way,
I noticed you were different.
Maybe it was your joyful smile,
Your giddy laugh,
All the corny things people say are loved at first sight.
Who knows?
If only I could turn back the hands of time.
If I could turn back the hands of time,
All the things that I would tell you….
From the time we first met,
First time we knew each other’s name,
And had our first conversations;
“So you’re Peruvian?”
“Hmm”
“Of beautiful exotic nature.”
“Its fitting”
If only I could turn back the hands of time.
If I could turn back the hands of time,
Solace would I take within your warm embrace,
Your piercing eyes,
And your soothing voice.
If only I could turn back the hands of time.
If I could turn back the hands of time,
Freeze the moment of our first kiss,
cherish the surge of electricity between us,
And once again, let everything melt away in an instant.
My troubles,
My inhibition,
My mind entirely.
For in that moment long ago, I forgot that we talked for 20 minutes,
and I still had the bathroom pass,
and I had to return to class,
but class was the last thing on my mind.
If only I could turn back the hands of time.
If I could turn back the hands of time,
I would appreciate the way you made me laugh like no one else,
and for the first time, allowed me to be myself.
Talk again for hours about the past, the present, and our future.
And while you lay on my chest, barely awake,
I would tell you the three words I truly felt.
If only I could turn back the hands of time.
If I could repel fates hand,
reverse the flow of times eternal sand,
I would correct the mistakes that I made;
erase the first time I hurt you,
took away your shimmering smile,
and saw the saddest tear traverse across your cheek.
If only I could turn back the hands of time.
If I could halt father time, plead and beg him for another chance to see you,
I would change the moment when you became truly unhappy,
as a product of my inadequacy.
I would bring back the twinkle in your eye,
the erratic pace of your heart,
and the butterflies in your stomach.
If only I could turn back the hands of time.
If I could defy the laws of science and redo a moment,
I would stop our meaningless fights,
and return to the roots of our friendship,
rather than presently being non-existent to each other,
sitting idly looking at each other.
We're strangers now,
simply acquaintances now,
simply a memory,
that I cant, stop dreaming of.
If only I could turn back the hands of time.
If I could begin again, through a show of God's mercy,
no longer would i simply reminisce upon the good times,
while we began nonchalantly coasting,
but rather take action.
I would have never walked out that door so easy,
I should have stayed and fought for you.
I tried to forget about what you meant to me,
but the more I tried, the more the idea persisted.
I told myself
"just because you love each other, that doesn't mean you're meant to be"
but yet here I sit writing of our story.
From what I hear, you're happy now,
and I couldn't want more.
My experiences with you will forever be eternal,
but I must make new experiences,
"and if I ever fall,
in love again,
I will be sure the lady is a friend....."
Though I can not turn back the hands of time,
once again, feel your love or rewrite my past,
I can be the writer of my future.
