If Only

I'll shout to the world
The feelings that I have.
I'll let my whispers linger
Jumping from ear to ear.

I LOVE YOU!
I scream out loud.
I LOVE YOU!
I'll say it out proud.

I wished on stars and dandelion seeds
For what I want most
And out of this wish
I got you, my joy and life

But when dawn soon arrives
I'm left feeling alone.
Cuz the thing I can't have,
Is you to hold.

I see those couples,
I hear their joy.
Then I hear my cries,
My lonely cries at night.

How they mock me.
Knowing what I dream of having.
And throwing it in my face.
Letting me feel this awful pain.

Envy flows through my veins,
Hate fills my mind.
Why do they get to have each other?
Why can't we have our time?

They feed off my dream,
Not knowing my pain.
This numbing feeling that haunts me.
This feeling that's incomplete.

Yet, a smile arises from my face.
As I imagine our adventures
That I hope will soon
Take place

And then a laugh escapes my throat
When I think about your voice
And how you make funny of me
Leaving me with only one feeling of choice

Then at night
When I'm fast asleep
The most amazing images
Dazzle me in my sleep

And I dream of your touch
Your fingers between mine
Or that sparkle of joy
I see deep in your eyes

And out of these dreams
I find comfort and delight
As I lay next to you
In these wonderful visions of mine

Yes, I made a wish
And you came true
Now if only,
My dreams would too…
