What If?

If I shouted and hollered
If I begged and grovelled
would you falter in your steps,
would you halt and consider me ?

If I wrote you numerous love poems
laced with rhymes and sweet words
would you be swept away
would a night's dream be of you and me?

If I walked in the heart of danger 
riding like a glorious knight
would your eyes adore me
would a wish for me cross your mind?

If I jumped from the heavens for you
and met my untimely demise
would a tear be found in your eye
would you grieve and refuse comfort?

Therefore if I loved you
with all that is me and in me
would feelings be evoked in you
would you love me too.
