If I Were Your Love

If I were your love,
Will you love me till I’m grey-haired?
If I were your love,
Will you stay with me till evening tide?

When you see me inside out,
Will you still stay close?
When the unfamiliar is unveiled,
Will you build a wall to part us?

If I were your love,
Will our love trestle us across the seas?
In the journey of hearts,
Will our love become threadbare?

If I were your love,
Will the love survive the unseen?
Oh, when gloom permeates,
Will our love light its way through?

Tough prompt! Love can do many things but it can not predict the future. Enjoyed my read, Thompson.
