sometimes i wonder
what would happen
if i tried
to let you
love me
if your embrace
would feel like warmth
like sunshine
or like flowers

i wonder if
i'd love you
too
we could paint the
world
in lilac with
matching clouds of
gold
and no one would
ever know
because we wouldn't
show we
cared

i wonder if
you would take
the breath from
my throat
and turn it
precious crystals
that would hover
in the air
and never shatter
on the frozen ground

i wonder if you
would
steal my heart
so quickly
that i mght
never know it was
gone
if you would
let me melt
into you
until there was nothing but
love

i wonder if
there is
anything left for
me
and for
you
in this world
where everything is
just
a different shade of
blue

i wonder if
the wind has
secrets
if it knows why
the fireflys glow
and is love lost
worth love gained
and why
when i think of you
i cry
diamonds
instead of roses
