If Only...

If only tears could wash away the hopelessness that had embedded itself into my soul
If only my tears could clear away the failures that tarnishes my spirit.
If only a smile could take the heaviness out of my heart and fill it with laughter.
If only a smile could bring one to your face as well.
If only those that give, received back in kind.
If only life was more gentle.
If only our choices didn't have such harsh consequences.
If only i would learn...
