If


If you saw me crying, would you hold me?
Stroke my face and dry my tears,
Kiss me sweetly and chase away my fears.
Or would you simply ignore me?

If my eyes reflected worry, would you ask what's wrong?
Talk to me about my trials,
Assuring me with a hug, and a joke to give me smiles.
Or would you tune me out with your favorite song?

What if I told you, I love you still?
Say you feel the same,
Leaving Cupid to blame.
Or am I someone you'd love to kill?

If is a small word, but holds great meaning.
It can leave you screaming or beaming.

But I know this...

I would dry your tears,
And laugh away your fears.

Most of all...
I do love you still,
And forevermore I will.
