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 for coming by
Everyone wish for something in their life, don’t they =3?
This is so beautifully expressed!..i can so relate to this post.It has deeply touched me.
^^ Thank for stopping by and I am sure whatever wish you wished for will come true if you work hard towards it and make it a reality=D
I am not going to say much Riika…..just read it a few more times….that is how good it is….take care
=) Thank you and may your wish comes true within the longing years =D
As always, amazing work! =) There’s a world of longing in only two words and you’ve expressed that excellently!

^^ 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
Your poem expresses all the longing contained in those two words “If Only”. Thank you for sharing it.
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
Wow, sounds like a pretty wonderful job to me =3 How nice will that be if dreams can become a reality =P
Your wishes are so grand. Love your ‘if only’s..’
=D Thank you Diane, glad you love them=3
This is one of my favorite poems of yours. If only all these things would be so…I like your music too!
^_^ Thank you Mary, we wish for things and want them, but without hard-work and willingness, there is no way we can get them =D
So beautiful Riika! If only!
Pamela

Especially like the sentiment of your final verse and hope that at least some of your wishes and dreams come true.
Ah, I think we’re all aware of that naive self in our past.
