With You

  
It turns out -
all that has beginning  
also has an end,  
That it's not years - but steps what makes you wise.  
   
But as long -    
as we walk forward  
together hand in hand,  
I worry not if to a cliff - or paradise.  
   
If you went back, then maybe you would find it -  
the turn you missed, that'd lead to better life.  
But would you want - to even go and try it,  
knowing our time may fade along the strife?  
   
If I went back, then maybe I would find it -  
the turn I missed, that'd lead to better place.  
But with you - I do not even mind it,  
it was worth the smile that's on your face.  
   
if road is -  
paved with our laughter  
paved with our songs,  
paved with our tears - or paved with starless nights.  
   
I just pray -  
may travels be short  
may they be long,  
let them be full - of wonderful sights.  
   
If you turned back, then maybe you would find it -  
moment you missed, that'd lead to fewer tears.  
But would you want - to even go and try it,  
if it could skip some of our cheers?  
   
If I turned back, then maybe I would find it -  
moment I missed, that'd bring us one more day.  
But with you - I do not even mind it,  
if I walk through colors or through gray.  
   
So I think -  
back to the quiet  
back to the fuss,  
even through void, I feel you here with me.  
   
And I thank -  
our lucky stars  
for having us,  
however fleeting our stay might be.  
   
Time can't go back, but inside you can find it -  
let's meet next life, or maybe tomorrow.  
And with you - I do not even mind it,  
I am just glad we got to know.

Author's Note
If you know a good site that specifies not in lyric but more in epic text, please let me know.
It may take me a while but I would like to write a story that ends with this poem.
