If Only You Knew
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?
