If Only You Knew

   

If only you knew! If only you know
How my heart overflowed with love for you.
If only you could see the way
You filled my hopes and dreams.
If only you knew! If only you knew how
I was willing to give up happiness
To never see you sad.
If only you knew! If only you knew how
I was willing to give up eternity
To be with you always.
If only you knew! If only you knew how
I would have given up my life
For you to live.
If only you knew! If only you knew
How I was willing to the time
Even when I hadn’t committed the crime.
If only you knew! If only you could guess
how I took you to be my beloved, to guide and to guard
And show the ways of the world.
If only you knew! If only you could guess
How my heart swelled with pride and joy whenever
You put on that your smile.
If only you knew! If only you could guess
How my soul cried out to you whenever
You were pained or hurt.
If only you knew! If only you knew how
I was willing to give up everything
Except you.
If only you could feel! How your very presence now
has the power to open up
all the injuries inside me
and take away the joy and a sense of actual living.

If only you knew! If only you could realize
the way you’ve shown me
that it’s better not to believe
but to hope.
And whatever I did,
I did for your sake.
I was willing to give you my all
and expect nothing in return.
But, oh how I learn
from you.
If only you knew!
Too bad,
You may never know.
