If I had known
If I had known
That you would leave that morning forever
I would have asked you
To spend whole day before together
We would have walked all over the streets of Cambridge
That you loved so much
We would have come to say good-bye
To the Charles River
It was there and will always be there
As a witness of our happy days
You could have fed the ducks
And said good-bye to the trees
For the last time
We would have come the nursery store
To get your favorite plant
As a last living souvenir
We would have walked the streets of Chinatown
Shared a bun for lunch
And your favorite avocado drink
We would have stopped at a bookstore
Or maybe at a yard sale…
We would have sat on our porch
Watching the wind blow above the bamboo bush
The fish swimming in the pond below
The birds taking a bath, singing their beloved songs
We would have watch the nightfall
The moon and the stars
As they will be our messengers
We would have stayed up for the rest of the night
Holding hands together
I would have told you
How great a companion and a friend you had been …
And you would be missed forever!
