If you were here…
The hours that wear me down today
would, in a moment, melt away.
Time would be still -
no clocks would chime,
If you were here
And you were mine

If you were here…
I’d see no dazzling neon show
in rainy city streets below.
I’d close my eyes
For kisses fine
If you were here
And you were mine.

If you were here…
The glistening sweat upon your skin
The one perfume that I’d draw in
The sweet and bitter scents combine.
If you were here
And you were mine

If you were here…
What food could sate my appetite?
What drink could make my mouth delight?
When on my tongue
You’d be fine wine.
If you were here
And you were mine.

If you were here…
I’d hear no sounds except your call
as tenderly we rise and fall.
Our breathing would be one
As limbs entwine.
If you were here
And you were mine.

If you were here…
No poems would I need to write
to kill the empty hours of night.
But this I send
And pray in time
It calls you here
And makes you mine.
