I Would Forever Wait

If I could be but a breath;

Anticipating each sweet rhythm; watching the rise of my chest

Collapsing in sweet song, sending out just my best

Id breathe out I Love you, and forget all the rest

 

If I could be but a breeze;

Id whisper my love in a rustle of leaves, anticipating as they awake

New fall colors scattering my love neither here nor there, Id debate

If this breeze was what could describe my heart, as it ached

 

If I could be but a gust,

Id blast my strong gale, erupting in a clatter and loud clangs

I would howl out your name as the gust accompanied hard rain

Tears streaming down by thousands, rattling cold window panes

 

If I could be but a draft;

Id slip under doorways, slide in next to you as you forever sleep

Rest myself within white satin's, under boards as they creak

Be that shiver that reminds you, you are never alone despite what you think

 

If I could only be with you;

As a warm wind I’d soar to heaven’s gate

I’d stay there

I would forever wait.
