If Only…I Wish…

If only
dreams are reality
I wish to stay in there
forever and ever

If only
life is a little better
I wish to travel around the world
like a bird of freedom

If only
my voice can reach out to you
I wish I can tell you
how much you meant to me

If only
fate and destiny can form
a beautiful ending
I wish in the beginning
we never drift apart

If only
truth exists for eternity
I wish to see the truth
and let it go for good

If only
a miracle can happen
I wish to go back
to the time that reminds me
of the naive self inside
me


Ever ponder upon if only there is a time something happened and you wish you can change something about it? Share your thoughts here^^~

I don’t why but I just somehow love this song which kind of inspired me to write this poem :)

    • ^^ Thank you Weasel, there is a lot of things in life that I had wished for yet I never seem to be able to get even though i knew i try my best, but still I didn’t give up as I know it will come when the time is right=D

  5. Your poem expresses all the longing contained in those two words “If Only”. Thank you for sharing it.

  6. If only
    dreams are reality
    I wish to stay in there
    forever and ever

    I love the dream realm (Reading The Sandman library right now by Niel Gaiman! I’m in deep!)

    I also do dream work (I’m not employed right now, but I’m actually a therapist with training that focuses on Depth oriented psych/Jungian Psychology

    So dreams are a passion and I immediatly was whisked into your realm from the opening stanza. I felt a sense of gentle sadness (the sweet, universal Sadness) and longing.

    Put it simply:
    I dig it

  7. Your wishes are so grand. Love your ‘if only’s..’

  8. This is one of my favorite poems of yours. If only all these things would be so…I like your music too!

  9. So beautiful Riika! If only!
