If only
Here I am in a dark pavilion of loneliness.
My face is painted blue with remorse,
Hence I'm rubbing shoulder to shoulder with regret.
As a result of losing you unwillingly.
Had I anticipated the outcome,
I would've done things better.
If only I had a courage to swallow
my pride,
If only I knew the consequences of my actions will be this harsh.
Perhaps I would've thought about
my utterance.
Probably I would've been selective
with my words.
I wish I could go back to fix my mess.
If only I had seen the fierce
in your eyes,
Probably I would've taken it as
a strong warning.
I guess I was to dump to cause
the throbbing pain in your heart.
If only you could give me
a second chance,
Precisely I'll make the most out of it.
