I Would Have, a Requiem

I     would have held her closer,

W   hispered softly into her hair,
O    pened more doors, and
U    pheld every promise.
L    onger I would have spoken of my love for her if only I had known that my
D    ays with her were counted.

H    eaven sent me an angel only to take her back. And now,
A    lone I am left to
V    ow to my regretting heart that if only I had known,
E    ach seconds of ours was passing,

I would have.
