If only she knew...

 

I gave U everything...everything U need

gave U sweat, blood & tears

all I asked in return was for your love to make me whole

and as long as we lived you'd never want another

as I stand here alone at the altar, it's going on an hour

still U haven't shown, wish I could blame it on the weather

sunshine is pouring through every window

but my heart is overcast and I'm the last 2 one to know

all along we weren't meant to be somehow I couldn't see

we were as similar as night and day

deep down, where truth resides I knew U weren't going to stay

knowing this couldn't stop what I was feeling

as time passed I had myself believing my love was enough for two

always somehow knowing, inevitably U would take your love away

leaving me a broken man without your love

If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing

that may sound surprising to some but what is the purpose 2 life

if not to be loved by the woman of your dreams

even if it's 4 a time the experience would've been worthwhile

too many times we sleepwalk through this life unaffected by life's great joys

and only in retrospect...

we realized what we've missed but then the opportunity is gone

the one you've loved is dead and gone

hopefully looking on from the heaven above

on the right hand of the heavenly father

If only U could tell she's the only one you've ever loved

that not a day goes by her memory doesn't come to mind

every word you've ever written is a memorial to her

every tear cry is in remembrance of her

if only she knew...if only she knew

even on your deathbed, the grim reaper hovering over your shoulders

the pain of living causes U such excruciating pain

she's still your only one desire...after all this time

all U have to do is close your eyes, see her smile

after all this time U love her still...after all this time.
