If you would only call me once, <br />And write a letter too; <br />It might just end the pain I feel <br />That comes from loving you. <br /> <br />If you would only be my friend, <br />And when you see me smile; <br />You'd bring me happiness unbound <br />And make my life worthwhile. <br /> <br />If you would only come one time, <br />And sit down by my side; <br />I'd tell you things you'll never hear <br />That others choose to hide. <br /> <br />If you would only hold my hand, <br />As I prepare to go; <br />And kiss my cheek one final time, <br />That's all I'd have to know. <br /> <br />Yes, all I need from you my dear <br />Is just to know you care; <br />Then I'll have joy for all my life <br />And still have some to spare. <br /> <br />Then with such joy, I'll surely be <br />Delivered from my plight; <br />And go to sleep, contented then <br />To sleep alone at night. <br /> <br />Yes, if you did these simple things, <br />That's all I would require; <br />Then I could live without it quenched, <br />The love that I desire.<br /><br />GREENWOLFE 1962<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-would-only/
