If Only You Knew

Today as I watched
You walk down the street
Knowing I would not see
You for two long weeks

My heart, it immediately
Cried out for your touch
I drove away with my eye
In the rear view mirror

I’ll dream about that touch,
Each and every night
Dream of that voice,
It makes my heart take flight

I wrote you a poem
For you to remember
All that is back home
I hope you will remember

You made me promise
A new girl I will have none
Don’t worry about that, babe
For with that, I am done.

Quite a long time
We’ve known each other now.
Been through so much, but little too
So much I need to say, if only you knew

So much I need to say,
There’s not enough time in each day
We’d be here for years,
But have no fear

Most of what I need to say,
Can be summed up into a quick two
Words; Oh I really, really
Do love you too.

I really like this poem. You can feel the emotions of saying good bye to someone.

I really like this line:
I drove away with my eye
In the rear view mirror

A single thought,  thought by many,  felt
by more....forever true.
