If Only
if only she lifted her face
from that medical text book
that she was buried in
if only she lifted her face
at that precise moment
maybe her interest would of changed
if only she lifted her face
to see my lingering glance
she would of made eye contact
if only she made eye contact
and noticed my intentions
maybe she would of smiled
if only she would of smiled
maybe I would of gained the courage
to stand up and move towards her
if only I had the courage …
but I didn’t …
Man …
If only she lifted her face.
