If only I had had

A few better words to spell

To open up my heart

to show you the feel

reach you, touch you

I’d say, you’d feel

If I had, a few better words to spell

 

Closer than when we touch

more real than what you see

deeper than what I say I feel

It could make everything be

If only I could pick, 

A few better words to speak

 

Sinking in, living within

every phrase from me

They’d keep us together

tied in strings unseen

A few better words, if I could read

 

Bring hope & love

tears of joy

warmth & peace

assuring I’m there

A few better words, if I had to make you believe

 

Get a smile to your lips

meet your eyes with my stare

Making the moment alive

break out of those ties

of distance and spaces.

Leaving just you and me

And a few better words, if only I could keep.
