If Only You Knew

If only you knew how much that I care
I can only see you so I stop and stare
You will never see the love in my heart
You probably never could, even from the start
The only thing I ask is will you stay
So that I will live to see another day
Compassion and love is what I feel
When I'm with you the dream is real
I really wish that you could understand
When you are near I want to reach for your hand
Please if I ask will you be with me
If you say yes then I know its not a dream...
