If Only — BelliranER
“Sometimes the greatest distance is not between two people,
but between a feeling and the courage to speak it.”
Every beginning carries a quiet uncertainty.
Before love becomes a shared story, it often exists only in passing glances, imagined conversations, and the hope that one step might change everything. In those moments, the heart speaks long before the voice finds the courage to follow.
If Only is a reflection on that delicate threshold—a song about vulnerability, quiet hope, and the possibility that the feelings we are afraid to reveal may already be quietly reflected in someone else's heart.
If Only
If only could you know,
I'm watching your beauty in fear.
If only could you feel me stare,
I love you!... If only, well... Maybe if I wasn't scared.
Every time our looks meet I'm hoping —
Maybe this time she had seen me,
Maybe, oh maybe, this time my words
Won't be so embarrassing wobbly.
Every evening when the sun is set,
You are walking in the park.
I can see your smile and feel the scent of roses
as you are walking by.
Yet I think I have nothing to show, I'm shy.
I'm looking from afar, afraid to approach,
Yet — maybe this day will be mine?
I'm approaching just to say hey —
In the corner of your face, from the side I can see a smile —
You were walking after me, trying,
yet as me — you've been shy.
