If only you knew…

Of the twists and turns in my heart

When my eyes first fell on you.

If only you knew…

Of the first flush of blush in my eyes cheeks

When our eyes locked for that ultimate (intimate) moment!

If only you knew…

Of the hot cheeks of mine

When you spoke a word of praise!

If only you knew…

Of the grounded feeling of mine

When you raised a voice for me!

If only you knew…

Of the violent twitching of my lips

When you stood so close!

If only you knew…

Of the sinking feeling in me

When I lost you forever…to someone else!

If only you knew…

Of the endless rivers of tears

Which flowed off my eyes that night!

If only you knew…

Of my broken, bleeding heart and my inconsolable soul

On the eternal dark morns which followed!

If only you knew…

Of the pain behind my laughter

When you sang for your ladylove!

If only you knew…

Of my fainting heart

At the church in my greatest whites,

When you walked down the aisle –

With me as her bridesmaid…

If only you knew…

Would you have been mine today?
