Would I?
A Remus/Sirius poem
If I had known that day
Would be your last,
Would I have memorised
Your every move?
If I had told you not
To come,
Would you still
Be here?
If I had protested your innocence
Sooner,
Would I feel less of a
Betrayer?
If I had listened more to
Your voice,
Would I be able to remember
It now?
If I had traced your face
With my fingers,
Would I recall every
Detail?
If I had held you
Tightly,
Would you have struggled
Against me?
If I had forgiven you
Sooner,
Would I still feel
So guilty?
If I had loved you
Earlier,
Would I feel the pain
More,
Or less?
If I had campaigned for
Your freedom,
Would your mood have been
Brighter?
If I had valued your
Faults,
Would I still curse
Your stubborn will?
If I could see you one
Last time,
Would I rather see the
Man,
Or the boy?
If I could utter three
Last words,
Would I tell you how much
I love you?
