a heart so real
the weight of a soul
flowing through it
ready to reach out
what you choose to hide
is what you show to me

if only you knew

a mind so sharp
aware of the truth
brilliance illuminating
shadows of doubt
what you never would say
is always what I heard

if only you knew

such tragic confidence
such loving heartbreak
such inner beauty
so much to offer

these moments of you
cool like a breeze
warm like a fire
presence of an angel
strength of an ocean
we could live forever
with my arms around you
and your eyes smiling into me

if only you knew
if only you knew
