If only

If only,
I can have it my way;
I would want it to be
Just you and me,
And let the world around us fade away.

If only,
You'd give me the time
That I long to have,
To share no one, but only me,
As I am to you, and no one else.

If only,
I can make you see
How much you mean to me;
How much I love you,
And how much I miss you. . .

If only,
You'd respond to me,
The way I am to you;
How much I need you,
I would feel less feeling lonely.

If only,
You knew as I do,
How much my heart aches,
And how often I shed my tears,
Perhaps you'd understand.

If only, I can be understood . . .

When you feel as if you are taken for granted,
don't bottle up your sorrows. . .
make your feelings known,
and learn to talk about things; so you can be understood.
