HAD IT BEEN

HAD IT BEEN
.
Had it been I have ruminated for some time
That you’re the best thing that happened to me
I wouldn’t have taken you with levity
.
Had it been I have ruminated for some time
that you’d be my saviour
I wouldn’t have put you in derangement prior.
.
Had it been I have the perception
That you were my tranquility
I wouldn’t have put you in such a solicitude and anxiety
.
Had it been I had foresight of the future
and I know you were my last hope
nothing in the world would have taken you away not even the mighty Pope
.
Had it been I have ruminated for some time
and I know who you were
I wouldn’t have caused you an atom of tear.
.
Had it been I knew prior,
your fears could have been mine and my strength yours.
