    Poem Commentary

    This is for you, no matter where you are.  You know who you are, and if you read this, I am sorry it didn't turn out the way you hoped.  Read, it and take it into your heart, because it was written from my heart to yours.  You are so much of my world, and I will always love you.....

    If I Only Knew

    For so long you were my best friend
    You held me when I cried
    You told me it would be okay
    And wiped the tears from my eyes
    I talked about the man I loved
    And you talked about your girls
    How was I to ever know
    I was in a different part of your world?
    My eyes so blind for someone else
    I couldn't open them to you
    And now you tell me how you feel
    And I don't know what to do
    It's crazy the way things work out
    They say it's not meant to be
    But why can't I get you out of my head?
    And why could I never see?
    I'm trying to make some sense of all this
    But I just get even more confused
    I'll never see you the same way again
    I really never had a clue
    You say you tried to tell me before
    How you are so in love with me
    But now it feels like it's too late
    I'll never know what could be
    Now I'm stuck so deep in the dark
    That it's hard to see the light
    What am I supposed to do now?
    I question myself at night
    I guess our chance has passed long ago
    And we will never know the truth
    I could never know what could have been
    If there ever was a me and you
    Years ago I would have smiled
    And told you I felt the same
    But now I'm in a different place
    And in my heart is someone else's name
    I should have opened my eyes to see it before
    I should have kissed away your fears
    And held you tight and say that I love you
    And wipe away your tears
    I should have known you loved me from the look in your eyes
    I can see it as I think about it now
    But there is no way to turn back time
    There is no someway, somehow
    If only things were different then
    If only I fell in love with you
    Maybe I could unbreak your heart
    If I only knew

    Wow, babe. this one was really good, about a love that you never knew. I really felt it. LInda

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
