Only If I Could

If I could

I would

Kept you close to me

And tell you

How much I love you

And if you felt

That I love you too much

I would have left you

Just for few moments 

I would have gone

To that room

With the view of lawn

Looking at your door

Patiently waiting

For you to come out

So I can be with you

And tell you

How much you mean to me

I would

If I could

Take all your sorrows

All your pain

Instead I wish

I could give you

All my joy

I would 

If I could

Take all your dreams

Brought them to life

One by one

I would have given them to you

I would

If I could

Kept you next to me

In my arms

All my life

Until my last breath

But ...

Only If I could

Only If you didn't left 

I still love you

But now I can't tell you

Instead I write to you

A letter 

Day after day

Night after night

Months passing into years

Years counting my tears

I can't mail them to you

These letters of yours

I will always keep them safe

I will take them along

To my grave
