if I was taller and
certainly more robust
if I had more money
typically upper crust
with muscles of steel
and a killer smile as well
would you have fallen quicker
down Love's deep, dark well?
if my love grew deeper
if angel's dared allow
and my clear devotion
I gave to you in vow
if we lived forever
each thousand years, a day
my love would only grow for you
in immeasurable ways
if I held you closer
in my arms at night
and poured out all my yearnings
never keeping truths inside
if you shared this soul with me
as I know in truth you do
you would know it's more than vows
that bind my heart to you
