If Only You Could Know

I wish that I could write a song,
that only we both knew
I wish that when you heard it
you would know that it’s for you

I wish it had a melody
that stirred you deep inside
I wish that it would free the
feelings that we try to hide

I wish that all the words would
somehow flow into your heart
I wish that it would show how much,
I’ve loved you from the start

They say that once you write
a song, it never goes away
I hope that every wall between us
doesn’t have to stay

I wish that I could climb into
your dreams and hold you tight
I wish that I could stay in there
and love you every night

I wish that I could kiss your neck
and whisper in your ear
I wish that I could tell you
all the things you need to hear

I wish that you would realize
my heart is in your hands
I wish that all our feelings,
we could one day understand

They say that once you write
a song, it never goes away
I hope that you are listening,
my love is here to stay

I hope that someday every word
inside this song comes true
I hope that when you hear them all,
you know there all for you


Richy

(big angel hugs) God Bless You, dearest Richy, this made me cry but with a smile knowing there are still romantic, faithful, sensitive people out there like you who can truly feel inside ones heart in love and she will forever be blessed by the song of your heart you share! (smiles) Songs are so important to me and I write my own songs and dream so much someday I can become friends with a sweet girl and watch the friendship bloom into love, with the friendship always shining so the song will never stop like a music box, yay, you deserve true happiness always, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Hello Richy

Your words were music to my ears, so beautiful and so very romantic, they literally swept me off my feet.

Take care......Sue

Richy, what a beautiful "love song" this is.
I also hope that she klnows this.

Thank You everyone, for the nice comments.


You know, the funny thing is, that when one person cares for another, it doesn't always mean that, that other person cares for them back, in the same way...

I don’t know... maybe some people are just destined
to never know, what real and true happiness really feels like...

And, it can make one start to wonder, why they might even deserve to, in the first place...

Either way...

Who ever said life was fair... right?


Thanks Again Everyone,
Richy

Wow, this would make a really wonderful song -- have you set it to music?  It is begging for that, you know.

OK Bluesy, it’s playing...
softly in the background...

And even though I turned the speakers southward

I think that the only way your going to
be able to hear it

Is if you close your eyes,
and open up your heart...

If you do that, then I’m sure
that someway, and somehow...

The music, will find you...

This was so touching , wishing heart to heart harmony
I have been so close to a song writer , I often wished one of his songs were for me , afterall most poems are about him

Awww Snow, that's really
what we're here for, right...

I'm sorry if your heart
is sad tonight

It will get better,
I just know it!


And Snow,
Thank You
for reaching down,
and lifting me up...

That was very kind of you

Jaice ~ Oh Jaice, really, that is much too kind a thing to say. I sincerely thank you though, anyway.  

iliana ~ What are you kidding me... you should hear it when I accompany it with my kazoo... Ohhh, you want to talk about velvet honey... And the dogs in my neighborhood... they just go nuts when I’m out back late at night rehearsing... ! ... there fun. Thanks iliana!

Hope ~ Aww Hope, I know how you feel... the only song ever sang to me was, “Hit The Road Jack”   and that was from my mother!   Thank You Hope. I appreciate that.

This had a lyrical feel to it. The words, context, stanzas all touched me. I hope all your wishes come true. Beautiful to read. Kie
