If Only; But Why

Jaswinder Kaur

If only, my heart said;
 He had kissed me to say he cares.
 But why can't you feel the warmth of the sun's kiss on your soft cheeks;
 The blooming sunflower said.
 
 If only, my heart said;
 He had stood up for me as my man.
 But why can't you stand up for yourself;
 The fluttering butterfly said.
 
 If only, my heart said;
 He understood my pain.
 But why can't you tell the trees about it;
 And let the first drizzles wash your aches away.
 
 As I sat speaking my heart out to the green pastures around;
 The wild flowers seemed to come forward embracing me with open arms;
 The breeze around me let the falling blossoms comfort my wounded heart;
 Whispering into my ears tunes echoing healing words of love.
 
 The fluff of clouds seemed to move away to show the smiling blue skies above;
 Nature's got your back, the smile said;
 Tap into your inner world, that holds magical healing powers.
