If I Had Only Known
Written by Lovely Videl
Based on "Dragonball Z" by Akira Toriyama

Based on the feelings of Chichi...
If only she had known that those moments with her husband were to be her last.
(The part before the Cell games)


If I had only known
That day was to be the last
If I had only known
You would be lost forever within the past,
If I had only known
That your face I would no longer see
If I had only known,
Maybe you would still be here with me.

If I had only known,
I would have held you closer
I would have held you tighter,
I would have not let go.

If I had only known,
I would have kissed you longer,
Our lips so tenderly together,
Soft and simple, sweet and slow.

If I had only known,
I would have whispered into your ear,
Telling you how much you mean to me,
Reminding you how much I hold you dear.

If I had only known,
I would have kept you in my arms,
I would have ignored our past troubles,
Just you and me, safe and warm.

If I had only known,
I would have thanked you for being you.
I would have apologized for those mistakes I've made
Or times I was untrue.

If I had only known,
I would have spent a night with you together,
Underneath an elegant blanket of stars,
Dwindling on our old vows of "forever".

But yet I already know,
These things will never come to be.
For we're already alone,
It is no longer "us",
Instead just "you" or "me".

If I had only known
That day was to be the last
If I had only known
You would be lost forever within the past,
If I had only known
That your face I would no longer see
If I had only known,
Maybe you would still be here with me.
Maybe we would still be together,
If I had only known.


Author's Notes:

Ahh... the new and revised version of this poem, my 2nd DBZ poem! Trust me, this is much better than the first version... that one was so horrible I deleted it altogether (check out the first review, that was on the old vers. And Lightning is the nicest reviewer EVER so if she didn't like it.. it goes to show that it was just downright bad!) My writing pains me so much at times! Well, I hope you've enjoyed the updated, improved version. Thanks sooo much for reading! It makes me so happy, and it means a lot! ^____~ (you make me smile! [Hehe.. i'm getting all cheesy, I know...])

Anime fandom forever,
