I Would Have Said


I would have said love had smiled upon me,

Would have called myself a winner in its crazy game.
Isn’t it curious, what I couldn’t see?
With the warmth of your touch now I’ll never be the same.
I used to relish the burden of making them smile -
Success at the challenge was my crowning glory.
Now I rise with the sun and yours grateful all the while
To be wrapped in the arms of a sweeter story.
There’s little the two of us know for sure -
Our greatest gift is that we know it -
But I trust there’s nothing we can’t endure 
If we have love and vow to show it.
Today I’ll just try not to look too far ahead,
Savor the moment against what I would have said.
