IF ONLY

If only you really know how I feel

Your hurtful words keep coming back and so do my tears

Am seeing your beautiful face and as quick as a smile came, it quickly vanished

How could you blame me for loving you?

The calming waves, I couldn’t resist

If only you could see tears wetting my bedsheet

Then maybe, you would atleast have a change of heart

If only you could see how I’ve sat crying over you

If only you could see through my heart and know how real I am

If only you can look at me and say my name atleast

If only I could sleep without my dreams haunting me with you in them

If only I could look forward and never look back

If only I could break free and move on, but I think I would be doing something wrong

If only I could close my eyes, let things fly and let the days pass me by

If only you could give me your heart just like I’ve given mine

If only you could accept my love and never storm on it like a door mat

Then my wish of feeling your love and touch even for once would come true

My dreams having a wonderful home with you could come true but then I ask that you don’t take an advantage of my youth and inexperience

Don’t play with my emotions
