what if...

what if i told you that the bags under your eyes from the stress life has caused are as beautiful as violets, 

that stretch for miles across the vast lands?

what if i told you that your eyes light up my smile

 more than a nebula or super nova can light up the pitch black night, 

quicker than the speed of light? 

what if i told you that you hold more beauty 

in the tip of your finger than all the others do in their entire body, 

that most become fake, 

trying to take your beauty and keep it for themselves, 

try and compare to the masterpiece God created, but lose every time? 

what if i told you that the world sings for you, 

birds chirp for you, bees buzz for you, trees rustle for you? 

what if i told you that children pray to you, 

laugh for you in hopes that their happiness 

reaches you and brings you joy, 

cry for you in hopes that their tears can be replaced by you with smiles? 

what if i told you that you were necessary for life, 

the air that i breathe, the lungs that I need,

 the heart that beats? 

what if i told you that you were a exquisite painting, 

something that Pablo Picasso or Vincent Van Gough cant create, 

something the Mona Lisa cannot compare to? 

what if i told you that Mother Nature envies you, 

knowing that even though she creates beauty 

and mystery and wonder, 

she never thought of a beautiful disaster like you? 

what if i told you that i would that i would never hurt you, 

that i would be there to help you build a new house 

with stronger foundation when you get knocked down, 

that i will replenish you, time after time again? 

what if i told you that i loved you, 

 more than the stars love looking down on the quiet city streets, 

more than the sun loves to wake up to find the moon waiting for her, 

even if its for a second, 

 just so she can rest knowing the moon is okay; 

more than i love myself? 

then, would you believe me when i say 

that my love with be an eternal flame on my behalf, only to be extinguished by you? 

What if you loved me?

How could you love me?

The "what ifs" in our life are the most important questions, I think. Sometimes we keep thinking what we want to say, never actually saying it, just planning. This is a beautiful composition with pure emotions expressed. Good job ☺
