Paula Goldsmith Poet Free verse

If Only You Knew

If only you knew.. how much I love you,                                         
to the ends of the earth,                                                                         
you make my heart beat faster and faster.
 

If only you knew.. how much I loved the sea,                                            
the water with many shades of blue,                                                  
walking with the sand beneath my feet,                                                   
cool breezes to sleep by.

 
If only you knew.. how much I love beautiful flowers,                                
pink roses are my very favorite,                                                              
soft peddles that smell so heavenly.

 
If only you knew.. how much I miss you,                                                   
our talking, laughing and car rides,                                                                            saying good by was hell on earth,  

 
If only you knew.. my thoughts and desires,                                              
you might be amazed with what you would find,                                           
if only you knew.
