If I Could Hold You One More Time

I still wait by the porch each day,

Hoping I’ll see your smile come my way.

The cup of kava, the evening breeze,

The sound of your voice still comforts me.

But now the stars hold your light,

And I'm left whispering to the night.

If I could hold you one more time,

Tell you how much you meant in this life of mine.

If I could sit with you, even just for a while,

To hear you laugh, to see you smile…

I’d give the world, I’d give my soul,

Just one more moment to feel whole.

Melia, your laughter was a sacred sound,

Now there's silence where joy once was found.

Momo, you were my second dad,

The best friend I ever had.

We shared our stories, shared our pain,

But I never thought I’d face this rain.

If I could hold you one more time,

Tell you how much you meant in this life of mine.

If I could sit with you, even just for a while,

To hear you laugh, to see you smile…

I’d give the world, I’d give my soul,

Just one more moment to feel whole.

Now I talk to the wind, I cry to the sky,

Asking the stars, “Why did you have to die?”

But deep in my heart, your light remains,

Shining through sorrow, through the pain.

If I could hold you one more time,

I’d never let go, not even with time.

You left too soon, but you left love behind,

In every tear, in every line.

Momo and Tavale, you were my song…

Now in my heart, you still live on.

If I could hold you… one more time…

Just one more time...
