If I loved you the way the night loves a storm,
Or how a monsoon covers the sun,
If I loved you so brightly,
That holding you tightly,
Would singe you ever so slightly –
What would you do, if I loved you like that?
If I loved you like horses love hay,
Or how mayfly’s love for just a day,
If I loved you the way a moment loves a clock,
Or how green moss loves a strangely shaped rock,
What would you do, if I loved you like that?
If I loved you more than my fingers like to touch my phone screen,
Padding out buttons that form words like ‘if I loved you…’
If I had loved you enough to stay,
And pray the pain away,
Only then, would you love me back?
