Had You Not Been.

You are near, my love; were you far, I would fly to you.

You are happy indeed; else I would come as your solitude.

You are alive now; else I would arrive as your final breath.

You trust in reality; else I would appear as a dream.

You have desires; else I would manifest as longing.

You are unfaithful, my beloved; else I would come as loyalty.
