WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE

What would it be like to love you
To know much more than just your name
Your poetic lines are heart magnets
Thoughts of you are driving me insane

What would it be like to hold you
[Verse 1]
What would it be like to love you,
To know your heart, not just your name?
Your words are like magnetic poetry,
And thoughts of you are driving me insane.

[Pre-Chorus]
What would it be like to hold you,
To dance beneath the silver moon,
Feel your breath upon my skin,
Look in your eyes, and lose myself within.

[Chorus]
What would it be like to kiss you,
To feel the spark that could ignite the night?
Could we erase the doubts we’ve known,
And take a chance on what could feel so right?
Oh, what would it be like...
To love you...

[Verse 2]
What would it be like to tell you,
All these thoughts, and a thousand more?
Should I risk this poetic friendship,
And knock upon your heart’s closed door?

[Pre-Chorus]
What would it be like to hold you,
To dance beneath the stars so true,
Feel your touch, soft on my skin,
Lose myself in the world we're living in.

[Chorus]
What would it be like to kiss you,
To feel the spark that could ignite the night?
Could we erase the doubts we’ve known,
And take a chance on what could feel so right?
Oh, what would it be like...
To love you...

[Bridge]
What if the world is waiting for us?
What if we fall and don’t regret it?
What if this moment is our time,
To say goodbye to all the "what if’s" and just climb?
In your arms, the world feels light,
Let’s take a leap into the night.

[Chorus]
What would it be like to kiss you,
To feel the spark that could ignite the night?
Could we erase the doubts we’ve known,
And take a chance on what could feel so right?
Oh, what would it be like...
To love you...

[Outro]
What would it be like…
Oh, what would it be like…
To love you…

Knowing someone, is to TRULY and DEEPLY know them- through moments shared, emotions felt. Through Words, even if distance separates them. It is possible to feel someone, to connect without ever meeting. Your thoughts move me. Congratulations Lyric Man, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

A beautiful poem of longing that even Browning would be affected by the sheer simplicity of poetic expressions. Congrats on POTD, well deserved.
