If only...

When I hold this moment in my hand,

It seems too complicated to comprehend.

But what I've been trying to truly show,

Is how my heart cannot let you go.

I have a confession

About your smiling expression,

It always makes my day.

But to my dismay,

Those joyful faces aren't pointed towards me.

I'm not the one who's supposed to see

Those wide, bright grins.

It seems like a sin,

But I've never wanted to tell someone my feelings as badly.

Have I fallen this madly?

I guess, I believe so.

If only I could let you know,

But of course, my nervous stature won't let me.

As if I'm trying to climb the highest oak tree.

Maybe it'll be fine if I stay this way.

Watching you from afar, not knowing what words to say.

I know it's not true, but I keep believing this way's safe.

Of course it's not, because it's like my spirits been out through strafe.

So one day, I'll find my pride,

And I'll learn a way to put the pessimistic thoughts aside,

So I can never be lonely with you.

If only,...

If only this was true.
