Only If… (c. 1994)
Only if love was meant to last
it wold linger long after a night
Only if we were meant to live in the past
our memories would dance in candlelight
Only if the sun wasn’t meant to glow
we’d not be cozy or warm
Or if only the wind was meant to blow
there’d forever be a storm
Or if only we were meant to live a lifetime
we could dance among the fields
and only if war was sweet and divine
we wouldn’t have human shields
Notes: This poem. I. just. can’t.
