if you only knew

if you only knew
how much you were loved
would you say
those things you do?

if you only knew
the thoughts in my mind
would you have treated me this way
or would you have been more kind?

is this the person
you always were
is this the way
you've always been?

would i have loved you so much
wanted to hold you so close
to be that touch?
if i only knew
