If Only

By deviousgirl

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Ran around looking for something to wear.Got dressed and did my hair,Sparkling-eyes, body, and smile.I felt so good, and all I wanted was you!I'm here where are you?Knock on the door-Fate had me standing there.Hugs, and that feeling that I get.Of course it has to be only with you.You danced with me hand in hand, twirling, and swaying every which way.Time froze and for awhile, things were perfect.For awhile, I got to live my dream.Nothing could've felt more right.dancing away to the lyrics of hold me now.Smiling, because my heart has hit the roof.I stood in the red flames, and you watched, so captivated.You enjoyed me as I played, the flames were all around.If only it was you . . .The lights were dimmed, and there we were.Our song was playing,and we both began to sing.Sitting together, ' yeah ya bleed just to know you're alive.'Raising your glass with my foot.Can't you see the twinkle in my eyes?I reached my arms out for you, and to me you came.I held you tight.You were on top of me, and it felt as though we were one.Your face right next to mine,could you smell the jasmine in my hair?Darkness all around, but I had you!Holding you by the side,I felt your stomach rise and fall.I could feel you breathing.For those moments contained everything that was right.They saw, my genuine happiness.It's only about time!Things flashed before my eyes,visions of you and me.Still our song continued, and I got lost in the words . . .'For I don't want to go home right now.'They ended my few minutes of bliss.It was alright for awhile,it felt great not to 'act.'It felt good to be naturally happy.And I felt amazing!If only you knew . . . Saying that you're only furniture,and easily thrown out.I love you, does it count?I love you, but you don't believe me ::sigh::It's crazy how much I care,but still you insist.Saying no one loves you.If only you could see what that does to me.Standing by myself, I feel and see you walk by.I could almost feel your touch, but I was to remain cold.If only you knew how much I wanted you to hold me!Keep faith they say, for the time will come.I've invested everything I have.In you are all my hopes and dreams.I had to leave you, got my hug and kiss.I can still feel your arms around me, neither of uswanted to let go.It's now just another memory in the jar.The second I walked through the door, the magic ended.Here I am now,smelling the sweet scent of you.Breathing it in, because it's another memory.If only, wishes came true.If only, you'd love me too.If only, life was fair.If only, you could see exactly what you mean to me.They're all 'If Only's' It won't happen,but it's nice to fall asleep and dream of my'If Only's.'
