If only

If only  I waited a little longer,

And let that reply linger. 

If only. 

If only I had more patience,

And the outcome might have been different. 

If only. 

If only the kind response came sooner,

Not interrupted by the need to be right. 

If only. 

If only  I loved more,

And didn’t judge so much. 

If only. 

If only. If only. If only.
