If Only

I have to tell you this and you need to hear it. . . .

I've loved you since i met you
But i wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today
I was always thinking ahead
Making decisions out of fear

Today...
Because of what i learned from you
Every choice i made was different
and my life has completely changed

And I've learned that if you do that
You're living your life fully
It doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years

If not for today, if not for you
I would never have known love at all

So thank you for being the person who taught me to love
And to be loved...

- if only ♥
