  • got scared.....tried to log in from my facebook and it didn't work! I thought the sight had gone down and all my poems were lost! SO GLAD original poetry.com is still up and strong!!

Back Then

If I could go back to that day
when I didn't know what my words could say,
If I could say just one last thing
before any of this had been
I'd say I love you as you are
and I know that you'll go far,
I would never change a thing
your heart's so full of everything
If I could go back to that day
but no, "I'm sorry" is all I can say.

If I could go back to our past
I'd do my best to make you laugh
wasn't our friendship worth that?
I would replace all your anger with a smile
and we'd talk again for a long, long while
Because when I look back I see
the most beautiful, wonderful memories
I'd share my every pain with you
only your understanding could get me through
I'd listen while you told me too,
about everything that was hurting you.
If I could go back to our past
I'd try to make our friendship last.

Thanks for your comment! This is the first time I've ever posted any of my poetry up for any kind of review and your the first comment I've read. It made me smile and feel good! Thanks again!

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
