If I Wrote You A Love Poem

If I wrote you a love poem, would your whole heart give way?
Would your mind turn to mush, would you beg me to stay?
If I told you I loved you, would this charm you awake?
Would you reach out to me, would this cause you to ache?

And what would you do if my words were untrue?
If you read them and saw that they weren’t meant for you?
Would it give rise to anger or sorrow so deep?
Would your eyes fill with tears, would your heart start to weep?

No sense does it make that you’d question my love
For you know, without doubt, that it comes from above
All my thoughts and my dreams are about you, my dear
And the words that I write make that perfectly clear

So, please take from these words that I lay down today
Hold them and keep them and tuck them away
I write them for you, they’re my soul’s work of art
They’re yours for the keeping; they were sent from my heart.
