POEM|If Only She Knew

POEM|If Only She Knew

I wish she knew
the power of her smile
the magic in her touch
and the significance of the times we spent together

I wish she knew
the true meaning of the gifts
the influence she has on me
and the reason I’m always there

I wish she knew….

  2. Beautiful words. I love the poem 😊

      1. You are welcome 😊

  3. Nice poem and clever title.
    I felt like this poem is about hiding and afraid to tell your true emotions to a girl that you like so you keep them to yourself

    1. Thank you 😊, you’re right. He’s afraid to tell the truth because he doesn’t want to lose her if she doesn’t feel the same way.
      What a sad way to live☹️
