If You Only Knew

 

If You Only Knew

 

In the far off reaches of your mind

A memory rarely thought of

A boy from Massachusetts

With you he fell hopelessly in love

 

He once left a letter in your school locker

A confession of love so true

Of how his heart whispers

\"Oh Sharon, how I love you\"

 

Now many years have past

And your many miles away

He gazes upon crimson sunset

Still thinking of you today

 

He contemplates your reaction

Upon learning his love still strong

So many years you\'ve owned his heart

What kind of love holds on so long?

 

Would you raise an eyebrow?

On your face a look of surprise

Maybe on your heart, the slightest of pull

Just a hint of emotion in your eyes

 

But it\'s all just wishful thinking

\"Oh Sharon, how I love you\"

And how might he react?

If you only knew
