If I can tell

I thought and I thought I had it all back then
But nor I didn't
But now I have it
Only if I can tell.

I remember and I remember when I love
but never loved back
I was played and pretended to be love whilst I was being fooled by foolers of fooled locations and villages
Only if I can tell.

I was so desperate
So grumpy and dumpy
Like a bottle of dumpie so dump in lovey dovey
If I can only tell.

Then comes a teady
Oh! My lovely teady bear
She wrapped me around and comfort me so comfortable that I even forget the past in the presence of my mind
If I can only tell.

Sometimes I look down
Sometimes I look up
But all I can see is you
Both up and down
If I can only tell.

When the saddness strikes,
You were not far away to remove that unwelcome feeling of sorrows and shame.
If I can only tell babe.

I was never full
Even my cup was never fulfilled with soulful love and happiness in little paradise called life and love life journey.
If I can only tell babe.
