I Would If I Could

I Would If I Could; This one's more personal then a lot of others, I wrote this for a long distance girlfriend of mine who I'm still friends with. I'm just keeping it because it reminds me of her.

I would hold you close

And I'd whisper in your ear, 

I'd tell you that you're mine,

So you've got nothing to fear. 

I'd tell you only the truth, 

Like I'd rather die then hurt you, 

I would... If I could. 

I'd tell you I love you, 

And that you're priceless, 

I'd tell you you're stunning, 

Even when you're a mess,

I'd tell you that you're perfect, 

Entwining our fingers, 

Well, I would, if only I could. 

I would have you in my arms, 

I'd play with your hair, 

I'd sweep you off your feet, 

Straight into the air, 

I'd show you the whole world, 

After all it's yours and mine,

Well, if I could, I would. 

I would kiss your soft lips, 

I'd stare into your eyes, 

I'd tell you only the truth, 

You've heard too many lies, 

I'd call you my Princess, 

Because that's what you are... 

I would, if I could... 

And I promise, I will. 

Author's Note

I never fulfilled that promise... It broke my heart that I couldn't. - I've been asked about that before, I decided to tell you instead of letting you ask.

[Jay Harris]

Very simple but powerful and like stated before, the audience can relate, has she ever read this poem? Also, you're choice of words is pretty solid, I read it and get the jist that each have a profound meaning of their own to you.

[Amy Craig Beasley]

the waiting - the waiting on the edge of something that could be so beautiful -- and the possibilities of a boudless love is all fasicinating to concider when verbalized like you have so verbalized it all ---- and yet there is shadows - something expected in the giving - that gives the poem a fathomless depth --

[E.J. Michalec]
