I could have loved you; this I know.
You died too young, before my time.
Could you have also loved me so?
The mind only takes so heavy a blow.
Could yours have been stronger braced with mine?
I could have loved you; this I know.
The years pass by; where do they go?
Can time transcend us as divine?
Could you have also loved me so?
If only I could have hoped to show
A ray of happiness, and you showed me thine,
I could have loved you; this I know.
Or at least with you together laid low
My hand in yours, and yours in mine.
Could you have also loved me so?
Two minds in time separated though
Twain alike we both repine.
I could have loved you; this I know.
Could you have also loved me so?
