If I--- You

If I had a genie in a bottle, I’d wish for you.
If I had three wishes, I’d wish for you.
If I had to choose, I’d choose you
When I breathe, I breathe for you.
When I save, I save for you.
When I speak, I speak for you.
If I truly live life, it would have to be with you.
If I fall asleep, it will be beside you.
If I wake up, it will be with you.
