Til You Come Back

If you were gone I'd miss you dearly
I'd probably die of loneliness nearly
I would wake the moon and stars to see your shine
I'd see the coming heartache clearly
I'd write my words of love sincerely
I would walk a thousand miles to make you mine

I'd say your name with true devotion
I'd kiss your lips with pure emotion
I would do just about anything to see your smile
I'd walk across the deepest ocean
I'd make the world's first love potion
I would make your reason for staying here worthwhile

I'd try to stop the world from turning
I'd let you see a heart that's yearning
I would mend all the broken pieces that I lack
I'd cry until my eyes were burning
I'd show you all the things I'm learning
I would trace your every step 'til you come back



Okay, I'm not really sure what style this is....Maybe rhyme...If anybody knows let me 
know...lol

Excellent, my friend. I think Francine is right about the form, but who cares. It is what it is. Have a great weekend. Twick or tweet. Ralph

I'll go with rhyme, but lovely piece regardless of what it might be
