• if only . . .

   
  when asked to see each other
  my curiosity blurted out
  "of course!"

  when asked if we were friends
  my casual "sure"
  really meant
  "the best of pals"

  when asked about a kiss
  my thoughts had said "how did you...?"
  but my hug admits "i'd love to"

  when asked whats on my mind
  a distracted reply tried "nothin much"
  yet a blushing glow read "its always you"

  when asked if there was love
  though my eyes had said "its complicated"
  my heart had meant "forever"

  when asked if we could stay together
  a bittersweetly whispered,
  "we'll see"
   gave way to a parting touch,
  "i'll never let you go"
