If I Loved You

If I loved you

Time and again I would try to say,

All I'd want you to know.

If I loved you,

Words wouldn't come in an easy way

Round in circles I'd go

Longing to tell you

But afraid and shy

I'd let my golden chances

Pass me by

Soon you'd leave me,

Off you would go

In the mist of day

Never, never to know

How I loved you

If I loved you.
