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.
