If Only…

If only… If only… If only… We had met sooner, maybe… just maybe… If only…

I didn't know, it was you I was looking for

I finally‐

Finally found you,

Only far‐

Far too late

Yet still,

I look for your eyes, and

Listen for your voice-

Take a look in the mirror

See exactly who’s in my sight

See what pleasure comes when our eyes meet

You beautiful thief‐

You waltz in to my mind,

Steal my focus,

And leave‐

But the smile you put on my face

Let me keep it will you?

If only

We met sooner

In another time,

And perhaps,

In another place

If only...If Only... - 08/30/24

I didn't know, it was you I was looking for

I finally‐

Finally found you,

Only far‐

Far too late

Yet still,

I look for your eyes and

Listen for your voice

Take a look in the mirror

See who's exactly in my sight

See what pleasure shows when our eyes meet

You beautiful thief‐

You waltz in to my mind,

Steal my focus,

And leave‐

But the smile you put on my face

Let me keep it will you?

If only

We met sooner

In another time,

And perhaps,

In another place

If only...

About the Creator

Josh Morgan

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
