If and only if
That five letter word from your lips
Can take away all the pain,
Can heal whips
On my soul, and make it normal again

If and only if
That two syllable word you utter
Can make me sane again
Can make my life better
Without leaving a single sorrow stain.

If and only if
The word, that is so easy to say with lips,
But hard to confess from the heart
Can bring me back to me, as smooth as petal tips
And beyond the ache, if we can able to restart

If and only if
You understand, that this word
Is more than just a word,
You would have never been sorry
Without a speck of guilty.
