We would give a day
A part of our lives
Just to see their smiling faces
And put it on a page
For a chance to write
How we feel in an embrace
And they would smile each time
We wrote a word
The sun would be our desktop light
To illuminate verbs and such simple words
That gleam in the light of the smile

We would give a week
And press pause on a whim
Just to feel that kiss on our cheek
The speech would then end
And we would bring pens
To record the things we feel
And they would swoon which each time
Our lips chose to lock
The feeling never being erased
From the page of a smile with whim of a child
With a dream that took some time

We would give a month
A leap off a clock
Just to feel the touch our skin
To know that the rose
Is not the only thing growing
And that the feeling is mutual
And with each time we touch
It would bring inspiration
That flows through blood and brain and soul
The ink vial would be full and the blood would then rush
And invoke tears inside a word

We would give a year
A slice of our being
To make sure the feeling is oh, so right
Watch the moon pass and fade
Peaking the day to day
And feel the summer and winter pass
All for a feeling
All for a smile
All for a touch and for a kiss
So the whole world can say we gave up a day
In order to write things like this
