If Only I Told You More Often

If only I told you more often 
How much I really cared
Maybe nothing would be forgotten  
And all grief would’ve been spared

If only I told you more often
How much you really meant
We might still experience  
A life lived to its full extent 

If only I told you more often
How much I really needed
Your tender loving care
I might not feel abandoned
When life seems all but fair

If only I told you more often
How well we worked together
Perhaps I could still feel 
Your fingers running through my hair

If only I told you more often 
How much I liked to hear
You say those three words
That we all long to hear

If only I told you less
How much I disagree
Then maybe you’d still be here
Nestled up next to me

If only I told you more often
Or sometimes a little less
Then I might not be alone right now 
And cry a little less
