If I could
If I could I would
It would start with denial.
I would say you aren't the fire that burns in me.
You don't make my heart lurch forward
Like when you hit the brakes too hard.
If I could I would
Explain why falling scares me.
I could tease you, laugh with you
I could do anything.
But you are you
And I am just me.
I know I'm smart, and dorky.
You are the same, but you're quiet.
I'm loud and excited.
I can begin now.
Your light burns so hot and bright.
Your laugh echos in my heart
Skip another thump.
Your voice sings in my mind,
I could close my eyes and listen to you talk all day.
If I could begin I would
It would start with denial.
