If only, you was here with me
If only, every humane was truly free
If only, I could have a baby
If only, I hadn't been slowly driven crazy
If only, our love was still strong
If only, the surgery hadn't went wrong
If only, you didn't live so far away
If only, I had the right words to say
If only, we were not at war
If only, I wasn't a ****** looking for a score
If only, that car hadn't crossed lanes
If only, I was still the same
If only, cancer had a cure
If only, I was an entrepreneur
If only, my car hadn't broke down
If only, he had scored that touchdown
If only, you would come back
If only, my world wasn't painted black
If only, I could go back in time
If only, life was sublime
If only, you hadn't got sick
If only, I was a magician with wonderful tricks
If only, I was rich
If only, with your life I could switch
If only, you truly where in love
If only, I could fly like a dove
If only, you hadn't died
If only, I hadn't lied
If only, I could be famous
If only, we could sit and reminisce
If only, my heart would have never heen broken
If only, the truth was spoken
If only, I had told you how I felt
If only, a better hand I was dealt
If only, we never had to grow old
If only, the future I controlled
If only Eve hadn't eaten that apple and comited the first sin
If only.......... is a simple longing, heart felt wish, for what could've, would've, should've, might've been

i.
running through
time and space,
I happen upon you
dancing with someone else--

you sway,
she leans
and I sulk for
losing my chance--

eventually I'll have the nerve
to ask you to dance,
to grace the world
with your radiance
and I'll bask in blissful
happiness as you look at me
and only me amidst the Others--

If only I could be aware,
that I'm not the one that you want to possess;
Is it wrong, if I yearn you in my heart?

If only it could be accepted,
that our love does never exist;
Do I ever exist in your heart?
Why does your love is the one that couldn't be acquired by me?

If Only
A thousand words I wish to say
But only silence is heard
Feelings to share, a message convey
But I don't say a word
A ton of things I would do
To show how much I care
So much I would give to you
If...I really dared

All the thoughts I think of you
Deeply held within
Concealed completely without a clue
It'll look, as it's always been

If only I could but show
How you make me feel
If you would only know
What I can't reveal
If only you knew the ache I felt
The day you shut me out
The pain and sadness that I dealt
When we walk the parting route
If only you knew the memories it brought
When I saw something you'd like
Everything about you I never forgot
Hidden in my heart so tight
A thousand word "If Onlys" fill my mind
Wishing you felt this way too
A thousand words I would find
To say "If only you knew."

If you and I were friends as kids,
You'd have carried my long skirt wherever I went.
You'd have been my personal assistant,
And I would've been your queen 100 percent.

If you and I were friends as kids,
I'd have gotten you into so much trouble.
I wouldn't have realized how wrong I was,
But I'd have come back for you with affection doubled.

If you and I were friends as kids,
I wouldn't have feared as my life started to fall apart.
I would've come to you to hide in our secret place,
And begged you to not tell before I'd have been dragged to depart.

If you and I were friends as kids,
I'd have remembered you everyday that I was away.
I'd have embraced modern day technology,
To track you down and meet you again in our secret place.

If you and I were friends as kids,
I'd have caused you enough trouble to never forget me.
Whether you were awake or asleep,
You would've always known that only I can ever be your queen.
If only we knew the one we love from the very beginning of time...

I find it ironic how
We get warnings for how to deal with hurricanes weeks in advance
But you...
No one tells me how to deal with you
You crashed into me
Brought out things in me
That I didnt remember I had
And showed me things I didnt even know about myself
But instead of leaving me like a shell
Like hurricanes do
To homes, towns, entire cities
You left me with wind in my heart
Thunderstorms in my soul

The rain you left behind in your wake wont stop
The wind hitting the walls of my heart whenever i think of you
But youve moved into a different country
Even so You'll be my storm rescue soon enough
how did i get here- odesza
you are why storms are named after people

your musky metallic tang
on my bittersweet tongue,
(i'm thirsty);
oh honey,
*let's meet.

One day I will drag the moon out of the night

And if I found
                        When my arms are tight
                                                 Around my special celestial article

            I still rue your silence
                      Or require your praise
                                         In some insufferable defiance



I would hurl it into the oceans*
Taste the spray

.                                                               .
                                                              I­'m
                                                        home again,
                                                 and I'm alone again;
                                           and hell, why do I even try.
                                          But, if home again means I'm
                                         alone       again, then,     why do
                                   I stay inside? Am I afraid to be seen or
                                      to be recognised?  It's just seems I   
                                       I am more afraid to be forgotten                                         And         I  gathered  ­       there's
                                        no           risk of being       out  of
                                       mind if I'm never out there to be left
                                      there. I guess on on the bright side; I
                                      could        say ;"at least       I'm warm
                                     inside,"       or    "thank-       fully there's
                                       no   rain   today."   Yet   that    does
                                   not remove the                    empty  space
                             ­      beside   of   me,                   or so frequently
                                                              le­ft    inside
                                                                ­  of   me.
I don't even wish it to be filled,  simply     gone. Because then I'd never to have to do random **** or get ****** up a bit to     pretend I'm having fun. It's nothing to do with "glass half-empty and glass half..."     yea that   bull. It is simply about    all these empty houses that have always been     full.
There are many hearts that remain lonesome, at no fault of their own, even among those that love them, they still live with empty hearts, inside empty homes.

If only you said
''I've got you''
She won't be hurting this way
Saying she wants to die
