Had I Stayed Poem by Mantsebo Golda Motlhatlhedi (Gaojewe)

Had I stayed, would my eyes be blazing with desire?
Would I be starving for your lips on mine, aroma, affection, everything?
My feelings, would they be alive, still?

Had I stayed, would my heart be pounding and aching for your heartbeat?
Had I stayed, would my body be trembling, longing for the touch of your hands?
Had I stayed would my soul be wondering, searching for answers?
Had I stayed, would this place be so sincere, still?

If I had, would we be gazing at each other's eyes?
Questions haunt me day in and day out
Been meaning to let you know why I left......
I left because.... well, simply because. I… love…you

Silly, I know
And for leaving......I Hope you forgive me

Had I, would you love me still?
