Too Late

If only I had known
I would have shown
The deepest of my love;
I would have saved your life.
If I'd just known.

To see you makes me cry.
Why did you? Why?
If I had just been there
I would have saved your life.
You make me cry.

I see you gasp for breath
And then your death.
It isn't fair.
I would have saved your life,
Prolonged your breath...

If only I had known.
I would have shown
The deepest of my love;
I would have saved your life.
If I'd just known.

To Splash, one of my fire bellied toads. My pets are my friends and it's never easy to lose one.
