Loving is in The Knowing

Only one life, that soon is past. Only what’s done with love will last. ~Unknown

If I were a thought

I'd wander ever so slowly

Through shadow and sunlight

Tracing out the patterns and

Subtleties of your mind

If I were a breeze

I'd slide softly against your cheek

Lifting the tresses on your nape

To imprint my touch

And claim the essence of your being

If I were starlight

I'd fall from the heavens 

To shine forever in your eyes 

And guard my reflection there

Peering at the world with you

If I were your heartbeat

I'd treasure the rhythm of your soul

Protect the fragile beauty within

Measure the moment when

You allow my love there to grow

If I were an eternity

I'd keep you forever in my embrace

And count time unceasing

By your smiles so freely given

By your laughter genuinely driven

If I were your man

I'd spend each day in search

To know your mystery and allure

I'd find each portal and door

So that I could love you more
