If Only...

If only you could feel my love
each time you hold me tight.
The rhythmic beating of my heart
tells me this is right.

Close to you, I lay and pray
“don’t let this moment go!”
Your eyes profound, I’m at your mercy,
mesmerized how they glow.

Every touch of your gentle hand
enraptures through my core.
Lips so soft and so alluring
I need you so much more.

If only you could see me
and know that I was real.
Let yourself succumb to what
would be the real deal.
