If Only....

if only

i could run daily

on the beach each day

away from this desert town

if only 

i could find the happiness

which comes

from being closer to you

if only

i could look forward

to doing the little things

which make up a day in a life...

if only

i could be there

whenever you felt the need

to call so we could be together...

if only

i could turn back time

and find another way

so I didn't have to go...

if only

i could feel the joy

in hearing your laughter

and feeling your arms around me

if only

we could sit over lunch

or dinner or breakfast

just talking about whatever

if only

we could play a game

or watch a video 

together...to watch your face brighten in a smile

if only

i could be there

for all the memories

instead of hearing over the phone or watching a video

if only

i could tell you

without making you 

share this heavy burden

if only

i could bloom

where I am planted

and make the best of it

if only

i could shake the sadness

to awaken my creativity

and find so many ways  to show you 

if only

i could pick you up

and enjoy your company for the day

or weekend...

if only

we could sell this house

I'd do it in a minute

to find something, anything closer to you

if only

i had one wish

it would be

to be closer to you

I love you
