~ ~ One Shot Poem ~ ~

To Greg,

If only I had gone to work that day instead of you.

If only the world were a better place.

If only you hadn't tried to save that man,

I should have told you when all this began.

If only you had just walked away.

If only the god's would give you a second chance.

If only I could see you one last time.

If only I could tell you the truth.

If only I could have found the right words to say.

If only I had told you that I loved you, from the very first moment I laid eyes on you.

ღ

Now you'll see the world from above;

And never truly know my love.

My heart aches for you,

And I never knew if you felt this way too.

ღ

If only you didn't have to go away,

If only the world wasn't so gray.

I know it's off to a better place;

But what I would give to hold you in my embrace.

My love for you will never go away,

I feel so empty knowing this is only one-way.

I still see you in my dreams,

They're so sad they make my tears stream.

I used to think you were a dream come true,

Without you I feel so blue.

ღ

If only I could have made you see, just how much you mean to me;

From the very first moment that I looked into your eyes

My life was filled with love bird cries.

Those deep chocolate brown eyes showed me a mystery uncovered

ღ

My love for you was true,

If only you knew.

All my life I was searching for my soul mate;

One to increase my heart rate.

All along there was you!

You could have been mine;

But I ran out of time.

If only I didn't feel so lonely.

If only . . .

~ Love Nick ~

The End

Love it? Hate it?

Author's Note: I personally don't think I'm very good at poetry, but one of my friends requested a one shot of Nick's feelings if Greg had died during the Fannysmackin' incident, so I decided to show it in a poem. I hope you like it; I'm not so sure. Yet...

It's the first poem I've ever written, so please let me know what you think.

Thanks for reading, Please Review!
