If only if only

random thoughts:

softly into the night a tenderness fades
quietly so, let me dream
hope is such a dreadful thing.
O alas if only if only, again again
if only the wind could turn us back
for it is kindness that fate does lack.
if only you could read my woeful heart
if only me you could grasp.
for though breaking dawn might end this dream
it is a lifetime that my heart shall love.
