Only If Love Could See

Only if love see
Of everything beautiful and pure
Of everything natural and raw
Of every destiny that is to be
Of every love that could be so true
Of everything that could be so sudden
Out of all, our love stood
But with love so true comes death so cruel
Only if our love wasn’t as blind as the bat
Only if it wasn’t as real as the cloud
Only if it wasn’t as deep as the ocean
Alas!  ONLY IF LOVE COULD SEE

Remembering our shared memories envelope me in sorrow so deep
the valley between my sweet sensations your heart find solace
just as my soul gently listen to your sweet heartbeats
The pathway to paradise we have both trend in the sweetness of our sweat  Alas! ONLY IF LOVE COULD SEE

Truly love comes with its sacrifice
some shallow we can scale through
others so deep it drowns us
...and it drowned the one my heartbeats for
Alas! ONLY IF LOVE COULD SEE and I would have seen the future through it.
