If You Would Only Poem by GREENWOLFE 1962
If You Would Only
If you would only call me once,
And write a letter too;
It might just end the pain I feel
That comes from loving you.
If you would only be my friend,
And when you see me smile;
You'd bring me happiness unbound
And make my life worthwhile.
If you would only come one time,
And sit down by my side;
I'd tell you things you'll never hear
That others choose to hide.
If you would only hold my hand,
As I prepare to go;
And kiss my cheek one final time,
That's all I'd have to know.
Yes, all I need from you my dear
Is just to know you care;
Then I'll have joy for all my life
And still have some to spare.
Then with such joy, I'll surely be
Delivered from my plight;
And go to sleep, contented then
To sleep alone at night.
Yes, if you did these simple things,
That's all I would require;
Then I could live without it quenched,
The love that I desire.
if only she knew that you don't ask much...that a little is a lot....a little is more than enough....
VERY beautiful.. GOd, this made me cry, just cuz of the beauty of this, and the striking emotion it gives me. i just got out of the most important relationship, lost the most valuable and loving guy of my life...and this hits me so hard in the chest, because ur right.. 'if only' these things happen... it would help the pain we feel, and experience. i dont know, maybe for me, it was a mistake to tell somebody that you love them.. ='(

Very beautiful Sir! In this balladic structure(which I often employ) you could so well express those tender, lovely feelings; they have the full strength to make instant impressions on readers' hearts. Thanks for this experience.
