WHAT IF WORDS WERE REAL

[Verse 1]
What if the words were real...
A woman, not just the ink I feel
And my pen was a wand,
To summon her soul with my hand
Could lines we write
Entwine two hearts in candlelight?
If truth could flow, unlace, expose—
I’d write a fire that softly glows
And who could know?
Connection... I suppose

[Pre-Chorus]
Like you, I’m wondering too
Why every page just pulls me through
These letters seem to know our names
Like fate wrote us into the flame

[Chorus]

What if the lines could kiss?
Every verse a gentle twist
On you and me... no in-between
Just magic made from poetry
What if these rhymes could breathe?
Pull you close with every beat
Girl, tell me what you feel...
What if the words were real?

[Verse 2]
Yes... I’d pull you in like gravity
Taste the things still lost in fantasy
Oh the thought, a sweet sensation
Never again—
Two hearts in separation

This feeling’s deep, mysterious
Untouched, intense, delirious
Like a stormy sea beneath our skin
Above the waves...
I hear your name in the wind

[Pre-Chorus]
So why does every line I write
Feel like I hold your hand each night?
Ink and paper blur the line
Between this dream and love defined

[Chorus]
What if the lines could kiss?
Every curve a kind of bliss
It’s you and me... on every page
A love that couldn’t be erased
What if these rhymes could breathe?
Wrap you up in melody
Girl, this feels surreal...
What if the words were real?

[Bridge]

They say it’s just imagination
But I feel the spark, the elevation
I didn’t write you just to cope...
You’re not a line,
You're hope
So if I say it — feel me near
You're not a muse, you're crystal clear

[Final]
What if the lines could kiss?
Turn a thought into your lips
It’s not a dream... it's meant to be
You and me in poetry

What if these rhymes could breathe?
Take us both where hearts believe
Girl, this is how I feel...
What if the words were real?
Yeah, what if the words...
Were real?
What if the words were real...
