Only if I knew

You were there with the sweetest smile,

Always fighting for first place,

we were proud to admit it oh just naive

I remember those days...

we were young fighting for first place,

But you were afraid, an insecure child,

you felt out of place,

maybe because of that face, 

you had those scars life gave you,

but I swore I didn't know that then,

if only I knew...

You were nothing but a nice young boy, 

a little insecure, having trust issues...

but only if you had faith in me

if only...

Things may have been different...

I remember the last words you said,

was just too young to understand,

You said,

''Not everyone has the strength, to remain who they are,

I like you as you are, cheerful and pretty inside out

and you don't see others as dirt,

I like the way you are friendly to all,

I love the way you didn't change at all

you preserved your original style

you said ...

''I am the strongest person you knew

you said ... you wish

you wished you were like me

you said you wish...

we remain friends forever,''

yeah, you won, you won at last,

And then it all became quiet,

I didn't know it was the last of you.

only if I knew...

I remember the next day, 


you applied color to my back,

Holi it was I vividly remember


I screamed at you as I was startled

and didn't like touch I wasn't aware

Only if I knew...

it was the last I saw of you...

only if I knew...

things would have been different,

It would have been different between you and me.

Thank you
