ifs and buts galore

If only I could understand you, I would write a song.
If only you understood me, you would sing along.

But parallel roads don't cross, and opposite angles never meet.
A dove can't mate with a lion, nor a snake with a parakeet.

If only your actions didn't make me question everything I know.
If only after I talk to you I could just let go.

But instead I stare at a blackberry, and wonder why it doesn't flash red.
A watched pot never boils, thus my hunger can't be fed.

IF we added up every if, and multiplied it by all the buts, Forbes would knock at our door.
BUT ifs are worthless, and buts take a toll, on a life that's worth living, I won't wait anymore.
