if you were

if you were to lie next to me,
just you and I: lost in the frost of a summer night-
would you listen?
would you speak through your heart
- or your mind?

if were were to lay down underneath the night sky,
would you pour your heart out to the heat of my smile,
or would you just pour out your lust that was disguised as love?
Would you touch me like your rarest flower;
as beautiful as the sky with the millions of shining stars that fill it?
Or would you touch me with the fake love until I gave into your silent urges?

If we were to lie underneath the stars together
what would you do?
I would pour my heart into your open hands
and hope you keep it safe in your hands...
but would your hands be open at all?

If we were to lay together,
under the bluest night sky with the brightest stars;
what would you do?
no.
I do not long to know what you would do, but whom you would do it for?
me or yourself?
