If Only You Knew

If only you knew how much you mean to me

The fact that someone miles away from me

Can appreciate and acknowledge my words

And yet those in my immediate surroundings

Are in complete darkness of my existence

Surpasses any notion of my being

If only you knew how much you mean to me

Giving me your own words of encouragement

Making me appreciate and believe in my own self

Knowing there are others who feel just the way I do

Those who are willing to hear and feel my every billow of emotions

If only you knew how much you mean to me

How your presence has a great impact

On who I have become
