If Only

It was sunny day
When we met
And I fell for
You
The first day
She said she did too
But
If only
Things were different
She said
We could be together
Secret rendezvous
Late night calls
Moonlit skies
I was smitten
With your lullabies
If only
My night thoughts
And
Sweet addiction
Could influence
Your heart's
Affliction
To let go
Of the
Old
To our
New beginnings
If only
My money was
More
You could
Find the door
And the key
To see your
To be free
You're caught
A terminal disease
Name
If only
Abandoning
What's real
I will heal
As I deal with
You closing
The door
Mi amor
I cry
Say
Good bye
To
My one
My lonely
My heart
My If only
