Array ( [sid] => 22037 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => If only [time] => 2003-08-18 04:45:00 [hometext] => I wrote this poem the night after I saw my ex-girlfriend with someone new. It had never occured to me that I still have feelings for her and that it would hurt so much to see someone you let go find someone new. [bodytext] => If only I understood, you’d still loving me
I’d still be holding your hands
Express my love so free
If only I waited, you’d still be mine
I’d still be kissing your lips
Everything’s always fine
If only I followed my heart, you’d still be in my arms
I’d still be holding you close
Keeping you safe from harm
If only I gave more, you’d still be here
I’d still be your comfort
Keeping away the tears

But now you’re gone. I wish I’ve done more
To keep you in my arms
Love me like you did before
Now you’re gone, I know can’t turn back time
But baby if only I could
Then you’d still be mine
Now that you’re gone the only thing that remains
Are the memories of happy times
And the bitterness of pain
Now I know it’s too late for worries and sorry
Can’t do anything else
Except think of “if only”

Thanks you so much for that beautiful comment... I'm sure in time everything will be alright...

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
