If I could take a time machine

I wish I could rewind the years,
And wash away the former tears.
To meet you earlier in life,
Avoiding unnecessary strife.
If I could take a time machine,
And travel to a past unseen,
I'd find you sooner, change my fate,
Before it grew to be too late.

I'd change the course our lives took then,
And find true happiness again.
We could have started way back when,
My love, my life, my closest friend.
Avoid the troubles I went through,
The lonely days before I knew you.
We'd build our family happiness,
Escaping prior emptiness.

My love forever, shining star,
No matter where or when we are.
My dearest friend, though met delayed,
A brand new, joyful life we've made.
Now side by side, our hearts alight,
Together, everything feels right!

You're my forever, yes it's true,
There's nothing that I wouldn't do.
Although our meeting felt so late,
Now happiness seals our fate.
Together now, our spirits blend,
Our happy journey has no end.
