If Only

If only it was safe to give you a hug I think it would do both of us good

But the policy says

A side hug or a handshake is more than enough

We have to be careful our intentions are not misunderstood

 

If only it was safe to sign from me with love on the leaving card that wishes you luck

But the policy says

Definitely not 

We have to be careful our intentions are not misunderstood

 

If only it was safe to keep in touch when you moved to the next place

But the policy says

Don’t do it 

We have to be careful our intentions are not misunderstood

 

If only it was safe to talk about what makes care a dangerous place

But the policy says 

Redact it 

We have to be careful our intentions are not misunderstood
