If Only

If only you could see it in my eyes
The burning passion that lies behind them
Aching for your touch, your kiss, your embrace.
If only you were unafraid to let yourself see
To let yourself be absorbed
To look back at me with the same desire I have for you.

If only you could feel it in my touch
The fragility and weakness of my body
How one wrong move on your part could snap me in two.
If only you would let yourself hold me the way you yearn to
To let yourself be swept away by a sea of emotion and passion
To hold me close to you and never want to let me go.

If only you could hear in my words
The care and compassion they hold for you
Holding back on the words I long to speak.
If only you would say how you feel
Say what your heart screams but your tongue silences
Fill the room with your sweet words of affection.

If only you would hold me close to you
Look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me.
