If i could i would...


hold you til you fall asleep in my arms
kiss you so you could remember what it’s like to be kissed
cup your face, tenderly
treat you like a babe
hold your hands in a way so intricate
sing to you, lullabies and whisper good night

i would

fight your fears
wipe your tears
lay beside you and hug you all night
and make sure you are safe til morning’s first light

if only you would let your walls down the way i let mine

if i could i would
if i could
if
