IF (a poem)

If I could be the sun who wakes you up,

then I would shine on you and greet your morning with my warmth..

But I can only wait for you to get up,

And check if you’ve a great night..

If I could make your meals every time,

Then I would even serve them ahead of time..

But to check on you from time to time is all I can do,

Making sure your tummy all the time feels comfortable too..

If I could be your shield everyday,

Then I would make sure that no harm comes your way..

But “take care” I can only say,

Pray and hope for your safety as you’re away..

If could come to you whenever you need comfort,

Then I would be a handkerchief to dry your tears..

But I can only give you my ears,

And assure you that I am with you..

If I could paint your face,

Then I would paint a smile on it..

But I can only memorize your face,

And make you smile whenever  I can..

If I could be your umbrella,

Then I would keep your head and even your soles dry..

But wishing is all I can do,

That it’s not illness but serenity that you’d get if you got wet..

If I could be with you all the time,

Then I would spend my every minute beside you..

But “I’m missing you” I can only say,

Wishing I could spend my lifetime with you someday..

If I can be the music that your soul dances with,

Then I would be the soundtrack to cover your whole life’s melody..

But sharing you my own music is all I can do,

Compose and play songs from my heart to you..

If I could be your doctor to heal your every pain,

Then I would give you all the medicine that world has..

But to be your nurse is all I can be,

Who will never leave, nor stop caring and loving you while you heal..

If I could be the God who gives you life,

Then I’d give you the key to live eternally..

But share my life with you is all I can do,

Or give you my life if I need to..

If I could take your heart and set the shape of it,

I would mold it to the shape of my heart..

BUt I can only wait, not for the day that I can mold it,

But for the day that your heart would beat fast, regularly, and healthily again..

Whoever the sculptor may be..

If I could love again,

I would still be inlove with you..

Cause loving you is all I can do,

And the only thing that I want to do..
