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!
