I would be the song
you couldn't get out of your mind
the one you sing under your breathe
or hum in the shower
until it drives you crazy
if only you loved me.

I would be the river
you come to at the end of a hot
summer day wanting only to
rest in its cool caress and
drift like the clouds overhead
if only you loved me.

I would be the rhythm your
body sways to when you
are alone and dance with a dream
lover treading softer than
a sigh in your mind
if only you loved me.

I would be the sweet scent of
new mown grass and rain drenched
roses that beg you to
linger...linger...linger
as day fades into night
if only you loved me.

I would be the morning breeze
loving you awake with teasing
kisses as the sun rises in
a new day promising everything
believing the promises
if only you loved me.

I would be
If only you loved me.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Paula

So lovely, yet sad, were your words.

Take care........Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
