When I look into your eyes
I see the door to paradise
But it is locked
Even though your eyes are warm
I’m sure your arms are warmer

I don’t dare to say the words
Even though I may burst
Passions that had laid dormant
Seams are stretched
And heart is torn

I hate to feel this way
Though I don’t hate you
I’m glad I’ve felt the glow of your smile
But these moments are stolen
I remind myself to keep sane

“If only” follows me as I go
Tugging on my brain
Nagging at my heart
I know if only things were different
If only they weren’t this way

My lips are thirsty
And fingers itch
I know we can be happy someway
