If Only (Poem)

If only I could live for one more second, one more minute, one more day

I would spend all my time with you and exactly in this way

We would wake up in the morning, right before the rooster crows

And you would be right by my side, offering me a beautiful rose

I would take it in my hands and kiss you on the cheek

You would tenderly lift me out of bed and take me to the creek

We would sit among the leafy trees, awaiting the rise of the sun

I would sigh with pure delight and snuggle closer to you, my love, my only one

We would hold hands as the sun rises, a gorgeous fiery ball of light

It would paint the sky with colors, with colors so glamorous and bright

I would ask you if I was pretty, for a little insecure I would be

You would say I am the only person, with love in your heart that you shall see

I would blush and smile and say the same

For as much as you love me, greater is my love's flame

And we would spend the morning hours together, doing whatever we like

And as afternoon approaches, you would take me on a long, but stunning hike

Content, I would sit by your side as we stopped to eat lunch

And afterwards you would pick some flowers, all gathered up in a bunch

I would accept them with gratitude at your ever present consideration

And wish on a dandelion that I could stay with you longer, my only invocation

We would spend the afternoon together, playing games that you would always conquer

And all the while I would wish to stay with you for just a little bit longer

So when the beautiful stars would come out to twinkle in the sky

I would hug you tight and go to sleep, for by your side is where would I lie

But soon I realize this fantasy, this make-believe is nothing but a dream

This is all simply but an 'if', a 'would', what life with you might have been

If only I could live longer, I'm sure our fates would have been intertwined

Even now, I treasure every moment I've had and keep it inside my mind

And if I was reborn a thousand times, I would love you even if I could not see

But this is a dream that shall never come true, a life to which I have no key

For all good things come to an end, and sometimes that end comes too soon

But I am happy, for I was fortunate enough, to be able to love someone like you

A/N: Well, that's it. I hope you liked it, so please vote and comment! And for my progress on my other stories: I'm really trying to get more chapters published, but I've got finals coming up, so please understand! I might post a chapter of my Fairy Tail story, but no promises.

P.S I just realized that this is my first post of the year..... ^-^
