If You Were Mine

If you entrusted your happiness to my care, I would wrap it in my love and never let it feel a second of despair.

If you appointed me the keeper of your inner most fears, I would lock them away so they would lack power to cause you tears.

If you decide I am worthy to hold the keys to all that is you, I will guard these; as if they were a gift from God the creator of the seas.

If you opened up your mind to me, I wouldn't just listen; but I would feel and hear all you were willing to reveal.

If you showed me the depths of your very soul, I would treasure this great honor, having reached my ultimate goal.
If you gave me a chance to stand beside you,  I would not sway, falter, or doubt you, for I am constant, strong, and pure , my love for you will out last and endure.

If you gave yourself and were mine, I would let our souls join and entwine.  I can only promise you all of me, a chance to let love flourish, wild, and free.

If one day we were to grow apart, I would break, fold, die from my broken heart, for to take love and give it a way, would be the only thing strong enough in this world, to take my life away!
