If love looked at you, would you look away?
If he look you up and down
If she glanced at  your lips and back into your eyes
As if a  trail was left from their path
The way their eyes drew along the curves of your cheeks
Memorizing the structure of your being
If you stared into their eyes
And could feel them exploring your secrets
Reading through the diary of your past
Flipping through the photo album of your memory
If love touched you, would you back away?
If their hands inched down your arm
flowing across your wrists
Linking fingers and touching palms
Your knees weak
Smile forming
Would you move their hand
from gliding through thousands of strands of hair
Caressing your head
If love spoke to you, would you cover your ears?
Letting the soft words slip through the cracks of your fingers
The sweet melody of their voice filling your mind
Their words making you glow
If she spoke to you
If he said a single word
Would you let the word replay in your head
Until the tones and sounds
Locked themselves in your memory
If loves voice sent shivers down your spine
If it made you happy
Would you turn it down in fear?
Look away from what can't be true
If you spoke to love, what would you say?
Is there anything to be said at all?
