- if only -

At night

When I dream

I see

A lady

I want her

But

Most times

I can't get to her

I try

But

Something is wrong

Things are in the way

Nouns

Never step aside

It's like

Searching for something without your glasses

Or

Digging a hole in quicksand

Except

Instead of sinking down

You drift up

And she's down

And I'm lost

But I'll find her

One day

I'll get there

 

I have

So much to give

And

I know

She would love it so

And cherish

What I have

What I am

And I

Would give it all

To feel that love

And she

Would get it back

Ten fold

And this

Self perpetuating

Cycle of admiration

Of yay saying

Of could be love

Could knock us to our seats

If only

We say yay
