If only
Sara Lynn Thelin 1969 (Buffalo, NY)
If only the world knew how much love I've poured into it.
If only the world knew how much I miss my innocence.
If only my child knew there isn't enough space in the world to hold the amount of love I have for him.
If only the world knew how much fun and love we shared in the first three years of your life when I was the only one there for him.
If only I knew there was one good reason to keep fighting, I'm going to hang on.
If I doesn't, I'm sorry.
