Silent Love

If I could sing, I would write a page
full of melodies that remind me of you.

If my voice could hit an octave, I would share
my love with you and only you.

If my fingers could tickle the ivories, you would
know how much you mean to me.

Oh, If I could sing I would tell you
my innermost thoughts without hesitation

But, since my voice can't hit an octave
and I can't tickle the ivories.

I shall remain silenced, hoping, wishing and
wanting you to know

If only I could sing.
