If you could see me,
Recognize
The power within my soul
If you could hear me,
Personalize
The joy within my being
If you could feel me,
Mesmerize
The life force within

Then I could
BE
The one you desire
The one you love
The one you need
If

If I could see you,
Recognize
The me within your heart
If I could hear you,
Personalize
The desire in you
If I could feel you,
Mesmerize
The you I want to feel

Then we could
BE
The two in desire
The two in love
The two in need
If only

    You have out done yourself, Barbara. This is wonderful.

    “If only” works much better.
