IF

If you were...
a book
I would read you
from cover to cover
again and again
never tiring
of your story

If you were...
a drink
I would savor your
every sip
drink
every delicious drop
and still thirst for more

If you were...
a star
I would gaze at you
for hour upon hour
night after endless night
ever in awe
at the wonder of you

If you were...
a song
I would sing
each precious note
hum your beautiful melody
until my voice cracked
and still strain
to sing you

If you were...
mine
oh, if you were mine
If
