If You Only Knew (What Real Love Feels Like)”

If You Only Knew (What Real Love Feels Like)”

A letter turned into a song — from your heart to hers.

⸻

If you only knew the way I still pray you’re okay,

Even when you disappear and don’t have a word to say.

If you only knew the nights I stayed quiet,

So you could keep breathing without my voice adding to your riot.

You think love means pressure —

But real love is space.

You think love means fixing —

But real love holds grace.

⸻

I never asked you to be perfect,

I never needed a show.

I just needed the you

You keep trying not to let go.

⸻

If you only knew what love like this really means…

It’s not about being chosen only when it’s clean.

It’s loving you in the chaos, in your silence, in your mess,

Even when I got nothing in return — still gave you my best.

This isn’t fairy tale fiction — this is soul and scars,

Still seeing light in you after all these emotional wars.

I didn’t love you for what you gave to me,

I loved you because I saw the woman you’re still trying to be.

⸻

If you only knew I meant it when I said “I love you” —

Not to hear it back, but to remind you of your truth.

You were never just a want —

You were always a knowing.

And even when you ran…

My love kept growing.

But this isn’t weakness —

This is strength disguised as soft.

The kind of love that stays —

Even when it’s lost.

⸻

So don’t confuse my silence with absence.

Don’t confuse my patience with blindness.

I know everything… and I still chose you.

That’s the kind of love you’ve never known, but it’s true.

⸻

If you only knew what it meant to be loved like this,

You’d stop running every time you feel the risk.

Real love won’t chase — but it won’t lie.

It stands firm, and it lets you decide.

I’m not here to control, to fix, to demand —

Just to say: I loved you, even when you didn’t understand.
