If only

If only you were not the ephemeral
but the eternity
If only time with you wasn't so little
but an infinity
If only life wasn't a mayhem
but a tranquility
If only you weren't just my dream
but my ubiquity...

dream and ubiquitous are not quite the opposites you know.. last line seems forced.

Thanks :)

[Anon 1]
Point taken :)
My first choice was
*If only you weren't just a fleeting presence
but my ubiquity...*
but somehow, wanted to write dream

[bhushan]
umm..well

[arpz]
Cynic!

I wonder how much of life would be left if we take away the if-only and the it-was-meant-to-be moments..

"somehow, wanted to write dream"

I agree... "if only" ki baat ho aur dream ki baat na ho, aisa kaise ho sakta hai :)

@divesh

so essentially, if-only to what-if :) a conundrum matched by another

Then you would've written this poem the other way around :D
