If only

A love poem

How can I show my love for you?

Each tiny word does not seem to do it,

A grin upon your lips can pull me from the dark,

Envy fills the sun when your warm eyes glow,

If only you were mine.

Your palm in my hand is a hope I bear,

For now I must gaze from afar,

Your "best mate" who is ever here,

I wait, I wish, I want,

If only it were more.

If only you saw me the way I saw you,

The most real love we'd ever find,

But it can't be, and I am a fool,

You and me, it won't ever be true,

If only, I weep with a soft low sigh,

If only,

If only, I cry.
