When Never, Never Entered My Mind

If Ever

If I ever see another sunrise,

or hear the bubbling sounds of a lake;

if I ever see another sunset,

or taste a single falling snowflake,

I will hold on to the wisdom,

held inside my vision,

of the love you feel for me.

If I ever see another ocean,

hear it rushing to the shore;

if I ever see another mountain,

or taste your lips to my very core,

I will hold on to the moment,

where things will be just fine,

and know that once again, you are mine.

If I ever see another day,

or feel your breath float across my skin;

if I ever have that moment it feels as if it will slip away,

or taste that time with you, special as it is,

I will hold on to every second,

and keep them close to me;

today, tomorrow and eternity.
