If Only



I think of you, so far away.
If only it didn't have to be this way.
It's been so long since I've seen your face,
trapped as I am in this cold, cold place.
If only I knew I could hold you again,
to be in your arms, free from this pain.
If only your lips could touch my brow,
coaxing me as only you know how.
Your voice softly whispering my name,
The thought of it sets my body aflame.
But here I sit in my cold lonely cell;
each day we're apart is a living hell.
If only I knew that when this nightmare ends
I'll be back in your arms, safe once again.
