What If I Told You

By: Kameleon

What if I told you … I knew you were special since we met

When my relationship ended it was you I had to get

What if I told you … I’ve loved you for some years and years that passed

Other women I have lusted, but my heart you’ve held it last

What if I told you even though we haven’t “dated” for a day

That the feelings that I have just wont seem to go away

What if I told you … at conversations end my stomachs tied in knots

I feel it’s not gon stop and I’m locked in keyless locks

What if I told you … you’re sexy, beautiful, intriguing

“We’re not” I’m believing and I’m still not leaving …

Until I’ve told you…

What if I told you… I lay in the bed and I can’t sleep.

It’s so much I want to state and ask but suffer from cold feet

I lay motionless and weak, your voice tone that makes me strong

The last night you were here I didn’t want you to go home

Then “the hug” and you were gone, spend this morning all alone

Till the evening when you call we’re making plans upon the phone

Just a reoccurring song, a nightmare on my end

To piece the words that I must, to state I’ve fallen for a friend.

What if I told you from time to time I regret the decision that I made

How I let you walk out of my life and then the field that I played

How I swayed on you should have stayed, how my heart was ripped apart

How your words revitalized me while I was on the gurney cart

Back then I didn’t know where I should start until the battle was already lost

Now I want you back in my life no matter what the cost

The black book I’m ready to toss, move in unison with you

I no longer want to be plagued with what if I told you

Because right now I’m telling you, you’re my soul mate in this life

There’s no reason for me to search further, you exhibit the qualities of my wife

At least the wife I envision, she was scripted from your mold

Why don’t you come and join me, now that you’ve been told.
