If I Loved You

If I loved you,

Time and again I would try to say all I 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.
