If

***
If you should go,
And I should stay,
And the sun will set,
And the flowers will wither,
And the birds will fly home,
And the summer will end,
And the leaves will fall,
And will feed the earth,
And will seed new growth,
And will branch out greens,
And will host birds, 
And beauty will bloom,
I will hold the sun 
Deep within my breast all night long.
