If I Love You

Part your pretty lips and repeat after me
This will not go too far
We will not forget who we are
We will not make a mistake
By seeing what this friendship can take
Do not try me, clear blue eyes
You see too much
And yet never enough
Do not spite, you know I what I want
Clasp your hands, slender fingers mesh
Uncertainty, enjoying your tremors
Hush now, it is much too late
You’ve left it up to fate
Watch the spider spin his web
The way you left me for dead
Has left us spinning and reeling
Do gathering shadows know what we’re feeling?
Lashes, lovely eyes, shut out the world
It is far to harsh to see
So close tight and repeat after me
The onrush of sentiment, have we gone too far?
Three syllables later and we forgot who we are
A muttered breath warm on our necks
But we’re not giving up just yet
Fear like wildfire through our veins
Leaving only ashes and dusty remains
Destroyed by the fear of what could be
So heed hesitant lips and repeat after me
Our hearts have brushed and it’s far too late
To not make any mistakes
Shaking fingers and I’m smiling too much
Humorously noting you’re not tough enough
Taking joy in the perplexity in loving eyes
Do not try me, clear blue skies
So taunting and pretty yet
Three words later I’d be willing to bet
The overhang clouds shadow our trail
But through all rain love will prevail
