Notes About The Poem
Hi Soupers, I had no clue how to write for this contest:-) Enjoy:-) Alexis

Response To If

If I could make you see that I am finally ready to love I would.

What you perceived as hate was me protecting my shattered heart.

If I could take back all the times I hurt you and made you feel unloved
I would.

It was not that I didn't want to love you, I didn't know how to love.


If I could I perform surgery on your broken heart, I would give you a 
brand new heart.


All the times that I said I loved you , I desperately wanted it to be true.

If I could I make you see that person I am today loves only you, I would.

Your "if" is far greater than certain... I loved them.
