If I do not say I love you often,
It’s not that I do not anymore;
But rather I am just trying new ways,
To prove it to you.
If I do not hold you
As I held others,
It’s not that anything has changed,
I jus want you to show me
How I should hold you.
If I should stop kissing
Like I used to;
It’s not that the feeling’s gone,
I jus want your lips to teach mine
How else you want me to kiss.
If I should make you cry,
As I might inadvertently do;
It’s not that I revel in your tears,
But rather through your tears
Do I know that you still care.
If you should find me
Staring at another,
It’s not that I long to stray,
But rather I am thanking the One above,
That I got the best of them all.
If you should catch me
Aloof and deep in thought,
It’s not that I do not care to listen,
But rather sometimes I still can’t believe
That I have you to myself.
If I should say no,
Every once in a while,
It’s not that someone else does it better,
But in a world defined by sex,
I jus want ours to be different.
If you should wake up
And find me gone
Without a word of goodbye,
It’s not that I did not enjoy last night,
But rather sometimes, my heart speaks best,
In the absence of your love.
If I should leave you
And break your heart,
It’s not that someone else has my heart,
No; that is your alone, but rather
Know that I loved you enough,
To let you go.
If my time should come
That I should die and leave you all alone,
I hope that deep down you’ll know
That it will always only be you
That I will love.

Such honesty in every phrase. You are a magnificent poet. Hope the dogs amongst us men don’t hop on this as an excuse! Good work!

@Biche, am with you on that one, when we need the assurance they think by being aloof we will read their minds, and they say we are diffucult, really…..
Lovely piece though, deeply sentimental…..
