If only I could…

As you walked past me that day,
I watched you continuously,
desperately hoping you would turn to look at me.
You did look at me and then said Hi,
I wished you the same but I had much more to tell.
If only I could tell you how much I wanted to talk to you.

Every moment I wondered where you are,
And every other moment, I wondered what you’d be doing.
I used to see unlimited glimpses of you in my dreams.
Whenever I looked straight into your eyes,
Mine constantly told yours, how much I loved you.
If only I could tell you my feelings through words.

A fear I used to have inside;
never allowed me to tell you anything.
I just wanted to see you all the time.
When you smiled at me, I felt I was a winner.
I needed nothing else, but to stay with you forever.
If only I could tell you how much your smile meant to me.

As time flew, I searched for excuses to talk to you,
I yearned for opportunities to express my love.
At times I was all set to put my heart before you,
but the moment I saw you, I forget everything.
Looking at you, I felt myself carried away
to distant places, sometimes Paradise, sometimes Utopia.
You were so captured in my heart, and without your thoughts
in my mind, I would be deprived, forever for life.
If only I could put my emotions before you, at least once.

And now after moving away from you,
I feel the pain for losing the opportunity.
If only I could talk to you about my feelings,
If only I had the strength and the courage to stand before you,
If only I could tell you how much I yearned for you,
If only I could tell you how much I loved you,
If only I could, If only I could.
