If you were a tree I'd lay in your branches the way I lay in your arms Because I know they'd hold me If you were a tree I'd spend everyday in your shade I'd water you like it was my religion And when they tried to tear us apart I'd chain myself to you in protest. When your leaves fell I'd collect them in hopes to learn more about you. I'd build a fence around you so that no one could hurt you. I'd love you in all seasons. Even in the dead of winter when you remained dormant and leafless, I'd still see your beauty. If you were a tree I'd climb to the top of you so that we could see the world together. And when you died, I'd have you made into paper and bound you into a notebook. And everyday I'd write love letters into you so that even in death, You knew our love was real.

If you were a tree
If you were a tree I'd lay in your branches the way I lay in your arms Because I know they'd hold me If you were a tree I'd spend everyday in your shade I'd water you like it was my religion And when they tried to tear us apart I'd chain myself to you in protest. When your leaves fell I'd collect them in hopes to learn more about you. I'd build a fence around you so that no one could hurt you. I'd love you in all seasons. Even in the dead of winter when you remained dormant and leafless, I'd still see your beauty. If you were a tree I'd climb to the top of you so that we could see the world together. And when you died, I'd have you made into paper and bound you into a notebook. And everyday I'd write love letters into you so that even in death, You knew our love was real.
Not my best, but for some reason this poem plagued my mind and wouldn't let me sleep until I wrote it out
