If only she knew, <br />How I feel inside. <br />Feelings inside uncomprehended, <br />Lost deep in the abyss that is me. <br />Your smiling face truly is a wonder, <br />But your smiling is it true? <br />My smile is there for you, <br />Is yours? <br />Never riled, just loving, <br />My dear friend she is, <br />I wish I could help her cope, <br />But what can I do alone? <br />I wish I could promise serenity, <br />I wish I was peace of mind, <br />I wish I gave her every emotion, <br />That deal with the happy kind. <br />I wish I could heal her wounds, <br />I want to explain the world. <br />Give her her eyes, <br />And make the world coherent. <br />As life rolls along, <br />And I see here time to time, <br />I only wish she knew, <br />That I loved her dearly, <br />Enough to worry.<br /><br />Mark Ruiz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-only-she-knew/
