If I gave you my love
Would you treasure it?
Would you
Keep it
In a time capsule
And protect it
Guard it from the rigors
Of the cold world
Can I trust you?
Can I tell you my deepest secrets?
That sleep restless
Within my soul
Would you respect me?
And see me as you’re equal
Should I trust you?
When sometimes
I cannot trust myself
How do I do this?
How can I be sure?
Can I count on the words
Of love
Or are they just only words
In a world
That abuses their canto
And if you are true
To this meaning
This love
Then I shall open my heart
And let you in
So you may touch
The fibers of my soul
So we may be as one
And so I ask
Only one thing of you
My darling
Just this one thing
Please don’t ever
Let me regret
The word
If..
