If-For Relationships

If an orange peel scraped yields its zest,
may my love the the juice of 
that most opulent fruit.

If so much as a glance can initiate passion,
may I look upon your beauty
and dream of sharing all tomorrows?

If an embrace be a sign of affection,
may I cling to you as a newborn
holds fast to their Mother?

If tears grant absolution,
may mine be a river, where we float serene
on waters of hope and peace?

If the light from one's eyes be a sign of joy,
yours are radiant, shimmering stars
in a clear night sky!

If one's touch could impart aegis,
may I place my hand in yours until
I pass from this life?

If life truly be a journey,
may I take each next step at your side?
