What would you do if I told you, you are my heartbeat

 

And that guy that does not have to compete

 

Would you believe me? Take me in your arms

 

And tenderly make love to me

 

Or would you play, push me away then say

 

You never loved me anyway 

 

 

 

What would you do if I showed up at your door step

 

And all I could say was I love you

 

Would you turn me away? Give me a hug then  .

 

Let me down gently

 

Or love me crazy whispering those words

 

Over and over again 

 

 

 

What would you do if I said I wanted you to

 

Make love to me

 

Love me any, which way as long as it was love

 

And not jus sex

 

Would you just take what I freely give?

 

 Or give as good as you got 

 

 

 

What would you say if I told you that every thought

 

 Or word of you was tattooed on my heart

 

Like invisible ink on clear paper

 

Always there even if hidden

 

Would you show scepticism, make excuses

 

Or be awed by how I truly felt 

 

 

 

What would you say if I told you that loving you

 

In secret is like a wound that

 

To the untrained eye looks healed

 

But to a professional or fellow sufferer

 

Never stops bleeding

 

Even if only on the inside

 

Would you try to stop the flow or suddenly

 

Break out in hive 

 

 

 

What would you say if I said that many nights

 

 I've cried myself to sleep

 

Because you unknowingly hurt me or

 

Just because I wish you were there

 

Would you kiss the long dried tears away,

 

Make it better

 

Or say you're not responsible since you did not know 

 

 

 

What would you say if I asked you to kiss me

 

Kiss me like I have never been kissed before

 

Just so I’d have a memory

 

Would you just give me that memory?

 

Or also make a promise that there will always be

 

More to come after that present one 

 

 

 

I find myself often wondering, pondering

 

 These questions

 

At the most inconvenient of times

 

Wanting to know what would you say or do

 

If I told you………….
