If only I could take the moon and place it in your hand
If only I could be the sea when you walk upon the sand
If only I could steal the sun and hang it ‘round your neck
If only I could quench your thirst like the water in the beck

If I could take your salty tears and make them diamonds bright
If I could take your saddest thoughts and turn them into night
If I could take your every wish and fashion a gleaming star
If I could only paint your smile with a single stroke…Degas

If I could stride the forest green and gather you every leaf
If I could ‘light upon your hand with Butterfly….. motif
If I could take the morning dew and place it in your hair
If I could when your lost at sea……be your beacon flare

If only I could be the words…to your favourite song
If only I could be your days of summer…… warm and long
If only ……is the longest phrase that I have ever written
If only you could see my plight with your beauty smitten

If only you would think of me and savour every thought
If only that my love was free and not with longing caught
If only this if only that ………….if only I had the time
If only I was a poet……….. I’d write the perfect Rhyme

If only I could have written this... You see John I too have said "if Only" over and over and over and over and I will continue to say
"If Only" over and over and over again

I loved every line

...IF ONLY you had written this for me,
I would surely fall in love with you...
the words sing a sweet melody
of just what you need to do!!!
They make me smile
and cry a little bit too!!!
