If
If the essence of love, I could share with you,
If I could only tell you how I feel,
If what you had to say went beyond mere words,
If your feelings didn't change,
If I wasn't blinded by your charisma and charm,
If love could be more than fleeting,
If my tears would stop long enough,
If I could only say I still love you,
If hearing your voice again,
If my tears were diamonds,
If so many years hadn't passed,
Ifwriting were not an outlet I might have died.
