I Could Love You

I Could Love You

A Poem by Eala Cartwright


I Could Love You


There's a field by a graveyard
In an old part of town
A young couple sat there
You might have seen them around

She is like wildfire
In the way that she laughs
He spends his whole damn evening
Keeping tabs on his heart


I could love you
And I almost love you
If we only had the time and the universe was kind
If we were sitting on this hill top with more than just tonight
I know I could love you

I could love you right

He's got his hands on her body
She's got her hands in his hair
When he suddenly remembers
That for her he can't care

Because the girl is leaving tomorrow
For a place he can't be
And if this goes any further
She'll takes his heart when she leaves


I could love you
And I almost love you
If we only had the time and the stars just aligned
If we were sitting on this hill top with more than just tonight
I know I could love you

I could love you right

He tells her its affection he feels
But it looks more like love
And if he could be anywhere
He’d stay right where he was


He said he'd meet her for drinks
They wound up drinking till 2
In a field by a graveyard
I’ll spend the night loving you


I could love you
And I almost love you
If we only had the time and the stars just aligned
If we were sitting on this hill top with more than just tonight
I know I could love you

I could love you right

There's a field by a graveyard
In an old part of town
A young couple sat there
You must have seen them around
