If I Were Your Love

If I were your love, who deeply cared for you, I would wipe the tears of anguish from your eyes, And I would plant poignant kisses on your cheeks, Telling you, you are my beloved I recognize! Gone through sufferings for many long dreary years, From abject loneliness, severe heartache and pain, I am the only one who can truly fathom your plight, I am the one who would make you exultant again ! You deserved to be treated with kindness and respect, Someone cruel unjustly denied you your right, I would be your true friend, your devoted company, Your confidant, no more alone you need to fight. If I were your love, we would find pure happiness In each other's passionate arms, we trust each other, All the cruelties in the world - will be defeated To true fervent romantic love, that's no wonder!
