If I Could Love You

If I Could Love You

If I could love you, dreaming was allowed
To paint the world the way my heart can feel-
Instead of hiding- if true love was proud
And waking up would find my dream is real…

Your smile as my horizon’s rising sun-
And we would stare across with grins and tears
Not counting moments, love would all be one
As everything but us just disappears.

If I could love you…not a far fetched thought-
We hide our faces from the blinding light,
And don’t come out where we just might be caught-
I only feel at times it isn’t right.

So music plays and songs are sung and heard-
While feelings deep inside go unexpressed-
If I could love you- seems somehow absurd-
As if you didn’t know I am so blessed.

Because I love you- seeing in your eyes
The magic that I've always known was mine-
If I could love you- well my dear- surprise-
There’s someone here who always sees you shine.

If I could love you any more than this…
But life insists we read from different scores…
So it will be in dreams I know your kiss,
But not in dreams to know my heart is yours.

John H. Bidwell

A whole lot of "ifs" that seem to be adequately fulfilled.

John,
You are fast becoming one of my favorite poets! The romance that you write from your good heart shines through so brightly that the eyes of the reader must be protected from the rays of your unrequited love.

I love the line "But life insists we write from different scores"... so deep and profound. I wish for you that you find a love that will truly be yours alone and that you will be happy for many years to come. Joy
