NOTE: OK this poem is kinda deep. It's deep in the sense that IF ONLY, the title, isn't the title. The poem itself states that the title should be different. Try and figure the title out. Shouldn't be that hard. Oh and while you're trying to figure it out, don't overlook the general message. Have fun!


If Only:


Your love is fading
While mine runs true.
If only 'if' was gone.
If only 'if' was you.

I yearn to kiss your lips,
And embrace your soul.
I simply desire
For a new love mold.

The nights lose meaning.
The days are always blue.
If only 'if' was dead.
If only 'if' was you.





I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Hey, finally some sap from DD!  I always wanted to see one of your love poems, man!
This one is so precious!  Truly touching, and well written.  Keep it up, man.

You know when you have a relationship and you dont know everything about the person, so you fill in the gaps with your ideal person, and its like if only that person was really the one you were with.  But then youre just like damn....cause you realize you created a fake person, and the if only turns into just a fantasy. Well there is my weak interpretation, but great job.  I like it.

i think this poem was very creative and very deep, i enjoyed reading it, and i was thinking the title u were trying to say was "you only" and the reason i said that is because it seems u want to let go of all the regret and if only's and just have the person that u love= you only. maybe its a little far fetch but its just a guess.

Bravo Layla!!!! BRAVO!!!!
You are completely right. Hahaha wow. I was beginning to get down because nobody wanted to analyze. The poem just states how my love for this woman is pure while her's fades. I'm obviously depressed about this.
Now........IF......the word IF states doubt. I hate doubt when it comes to a relationship. IF ONLY basically means you WISH......you wish you could have that person. Now this poem is a depressing-oh-i-miss-you- love poem....but the poem really wants that IF to disappear. It wants to be named YOU ONLY. Thus, taking out the DOUBT (if) and putting in pure love (YOU).

Wonderful job layla!

How come it is so easy for a person to say "I hate you," but it is so difficult for someone to say "I love you" and really mean it????

I actually understood this poem and what you were saying, I guess I was just to late to win the prized role of explaining it.  *pouts*  Oh well, great job

Great job.  Should the true title be "You Only"...bc you said if only "if" was you?  I don't know..to tired to think.  Loved the poem though.
