If only I could see your face…
If only I could cross this space…
between us…


If only I could kiss your lips…
Caress you with these fingertips…
so gently…


If only I could hear you say…
your love grows stronger every day…
and always…


If only I could be with you…
I’d make all of your dreams come true…
forever…


If only in some distant time…
we’ll meet, we’ll know, and then we’ll find…
a lifetime…


If only…just two simple words…
that from my heart take flight, like birds…
to find you…


I’ll wait for you, as I do now…
my heart responds in silent vow…
~ to love you ~
~ But if only ~
~ If Only ~



Follow your dream!

Sunny1~
This is such a lovely poem.

'If only can be, and often is,
one of the saddest phrases ever uttered.

I wish you more smiles in your heart.
