I Could...

I could write, I could read, I could talk, I could sing but nothings like seeing your name when my mobile rings. I could walk, I could run, I could soar when I fly but none of this can happen if your heart is not close to mine. I could learn, I could teach, I could listen, I could speak but who to do these things with, if it is not you with me? I could smile, I could laugh, but I could sob too but with whom should I share these emotions if it’s not with you? I could eat, I could drink, I could rest and fall asleep, but thinking of you has made my mind and body weak. I could lose, I could moan, I could take the greatest fall but who will be there to help me get up, and to help me stand tall. I could break and hit the wall, I could stumble, I could crawl but who will be there to help me get through it all. I could give up, I could fight, I could give in, I could be strong but who will be there to tell me if I’m right or wrong. I could follow, or I could lead, I could believe my dreams or my visions but who will be there to help make the right decisions. I could kill, I could steal, I could bleed, I could lie but it will be in vain, the day we say goodbye. I could be everything you want me to be, I could do anything you want me to do but for now I can’t do anything except to tell you that I love you.
