If I Were Your Love

If I were your love,
I would be like your glove;
Protect you even from a thorn
And never give you a chance to mourn.

Even when life gives complications, 
Your intentions and affections -
You'll never have to prove,
If I were your love.

If I were your love,
I will strive not to shove 
My wishes and opinion
On you, or make you my minion

I would never arrest your freedom
Give you your space, in my kingdom -
Unlike a caged dove
If only... I were your love.
