Elementary:  First Place

 

IF ONLY, IF ONLY

 

Touching flowing brownish blond hair

As I hug her

 

Sky blue eyes sparkling

Like sapphires

 

If only, if only

 

The gentle sound of her voice

Makes me tremble

 

Her lips are

A Scarlet rose

 

If only, if only

 

The sparkle of her necklace

In the sunlight

 

And the feeling of her

Making me laugh

 

If only, if only

 

I felt joyful with her…

 

Until she went to Georgia

 

If only I could see her one more time

 

If only, if only
