If only it
Could only be,
That you could be here
To talk with me.
To tell me of
Your whole day,
Of how it all
Went your way.
We could talk
Of the weather too,
Or whatever subject
Brought up by you.
We'd skirt the issues
Of meanings deep,
And why it is
I still can't sleep.
We'd dance around
The honest things,
And side step all
That truth might bring.
We could talk about
What you saw on TV,
Any thing other than
Of you and me.
Oh but if only
You were here,
We could laugh and joke
While I hid my fear.
I'd paste on that smile
For you to see,
To make you think
Nothing's wrong with me.
That all was right
Within my soul,
That I had it all
Under control.
Oh but if only
It could be,
That you were here
Right now with me. |
