This is my second try…..enjoy!!

If

If only I never knew you,

Or we were never destined to meet,

If only you never stole my heart,

And made me love you with all my being.

*

If only demons were good and true,

Every single one with virtue,

Or better yet, they never existed,

No creatures of the nights to be feared.

*

If people then weren't so ignorant,

So quick to turn their heads away,

If one brave soul was there that day,

To do what's right and never swayed.

*

If only I had heard you called,

To save and protect you, there I'll be,

If I never was away that day,

And be with you when you needed me.

*

If the demon's raid was another day,

And you weren't alone in the place we shared,

If another girl was sacrificed,

Instead of you, my love, my life.

*

If there were one less step to take,

Or I was faster on my way,

If there were one less demon to kill,

If one of them had surrendered at will.

*

If only he wasn't there with you,

To take what's good and pure and dear,

If only I had arrived in time,

To hold you in these arms of mine

*

If there were no knife on my belt,

And you weren't so sure of yourself,

If you could have known how I would feel,

And trust me when I say everything's all right.

*

If only one of these things had happened,

If I never had to lose you,

Would I be feeling the way I do?

Living my life in constant pain.

*

Every second I'm missing you,

Every moment filled with regret,

Of "what ifs" and "could have beens",

I love you Kanna, why did you leave?

PS: Can someone help me in spacing the verses apart???? They just sort of stick together making the poem look like one really huge and really long poem…….I'd be really grateful for any kind of help. Thanx!!
