• As if you were
    a flightless bird,
    You chirped
    and chirped,
    Never leaving
    the ground.
    I stayed and watched
    Your pitiful
    attempt,
    And,
    getting bored,
    spread my jaws.


    As if you were
    A river's stone,
    you stayed,
    pushed
    and pulled
    by the currents,
    until
    I picked you up,
    and threw you across,
    only to land
    once again
    in the riverbed..


    As if you were
    A flaming torch,
    You light
    the dark,
    undisturbed.
    Cold and quiet
    don't stand a chance,
    against
    your broken beat
    of light
    and heat.


    As if you were
    my only one,
    my only love,
    my only song.

    My other half.
    my missing piece,
    my sure thing.

    As if you were
    my melody,
    my soon-to-be,
    my darling.

    As if you were.
    If only
    you were.
