If I Were Your Love

If  I were your love
I would sand my sharp edges smooth 
And keep my touch soft
If I were your love
I would hold you 
So tight that the cold winds of life couldn’t reach 
If I were your love
I would wrap you up in pretty cloth 
And kiss your forehead each night before bed
If I were your love I would put bandaids on those cuts you hide away 
And wash the dirt off you’re soul 

But I was not your love 
And your love was not love at all
