If Only I Could Hold Your Heart

If only I could hold your heart
The way you hold mine
Just to know you felt the same inside
Would stop this feeling of being torn apart. 

The way your smile made your eyes dance
Your laughter brightened the darkest room
Your kind spirit in such a strong man 
My heart never had a chance.

Your hands rough from the field
Yet your eyes still shone bright
And your touch was so gentle 
With just you being you it was my heart that you healed.

My heart fell for you
Without either of us realizing it I guess
And even though it will never be returned
I will always love you.
