If {is such an abstract word}

If she says
    “Your smile brightens me”
Will he be despondent and never laugh?

“I need your warmth, please, I’m too thin
                 to keep my own.”
   He hands her a jar and says
         “There’s millions of fireflies out there-
            catch them and hope they burn.”

     The level of friendship
     Reminds her of
     a hot cup of coffee,
     bitter and energizing
           and she can’t get the taste
           out of her mouth.

The level of fear
Makes him want to
hit the next passerby
which would undoubtedly be her.
So he holds great restraint.

the next day he gives her wings by holding up a rose and
slipping his hand in hers. her smile returns and shines golden.
                            “please forgive me”
                                      they say.

    Shhhweeeeet

    Maybe in the second stanza you meant "hands" but it is very dreamy. Very floating and romantically heartfelt. Catch your fireflies! But you nurturing personality will keep them burning for a very long time!

    ....and a wonderful coffee reference, if I may say so myself!
