                      If Only...
If Only... Life is easier
If Only... I could see the light
If Only... I could be with you
If Only... I could dance in the moonlight
If Only... Life wasn't so harsh
If Only... Reality didn't slap so hard
If Only... Life would ever end
If Only... people would never die
If Only... A smile was permenant
If Only... My heart didn't know how to break
If Only... I had you with me
If Only... I had you wrapped around me
If Only... I had you to comfort me
If Only... You were here right now

I wouldn't be so sad

Happiness comes from within, Kellie.  Begin with finding just one thing to smile about today - and two things tomorrow - then three.. and so on...Soon your heart will be happy again...

Kellie~
Your heart speaks loudly in this piece.
I must echo Nan here.  True happiness is most
definately found within ourselves, and we will
never be completely happy with another person
until we can be happy with ourselves.
As Nan said, FIND things to smile about, and before
you know it your whole outlook will change.
All the best to you.
Hugs,
~Vicky
