I had a very pure form of love for you ,
But it's just that
I had ! it....

-

Had it been.................
Had it been I had listened to the whispering of my soul
To the beckoning of my spirit
Had it been I had listened to those gentle words
Had it been I had been patient enough
Had it been I hadn't tried to create a Mississippi in the middle of the desert
Had it been I didn't misinterpreted!
Had it been I hadn't tried to manipulate my own message
Had it been I was conscious of the 'Had it been'
I wouldn't have been in the 'Had it been' world
I wouldn't have pierced violently deep into my heart
I wouldn't have shut down the new treasure just opened
Now, it stings and it hurts
Had it been I was more cruel to my impulse than my thoughts
Had it been I became a realist at the instant
Now I have been taught
I have learnt
I have grew
Onward to bringing out the best
So the 'had it been' won't engulf me.......
