Valentine 7

if i could,

i would smile softly at you, so that you would do the same

i would hold your face in my hands, so that you'd blush

i would kiss you on your forehead, so you would close your eyes

i would kiss you on your nose, so you would laugh

i would kiss you on your mouth, so you would kiss back.

if i could,

i would kiss you on your neck, to take your breath away

i would pull your arms around me, so you would hold me

i would kiss you on your collar bone, so you would squeeze me tight.

if i could,

i would pick you up, so you'd laugh again

i would set you down on your back, so you'd look into my eyes

i would sneak into you and steal a kiss, so you would want more

i would kiss you again, so you would grab the back of my neck.

if i could,

i would hold you the closest, so you'd know I'll never let go

i would say your name, so would say mine back

i would kiss you until our lips forgot how to do anything else

i would kiss you until my heart ached with the ecstacy

i would kiss you until our skin burst into flames and we would melt away into embers.

if i could,

i would.

but we'll wait for now,

won't we?
