If Only

If only when he looked, in my eyes
He saw not the colour 
But the love I have for him
In my heart

If only when I talked 
To him 
He heard not the words, but
The loving tone in my voice 

If only when I smiled he saw 
Not my lips
But the happiness I feel
When I’m around him

If only when I cried to him
He saw not my tears
But how safe I feel 
When he held me tight

If only he could see me
On the inside
