BETWEEN YOU & ME
I would have appeared lovely
If you had loved me dearly
I would not have been lonely
If you had cared me wholly
I would not have been old
If your thoughts had been younger
I would have had the blue eyes
If your blue eyes had seen me
I would have been green & lively
If you had watched me amidst the Green garden
I would not have gone mad
I you had have not let me go mad
I would have been cheerful
If you had cherished me
I would have been one among the top
If you had patted me
I would have been yours
If you had been mine
I would have looked at you
If you had looked back me
I would have faced those miseries
If you had protected me all through
When you will be all these?

Beautiful write. Thought provoking interrogation everywhere gives logical insight. Language, dition and rhyming scheme is appealing. I surely give my 10 to this.

I would have been one among the top If you had patted me I would have been yours If you had been mine a very good love poem showing the contrasts..... you know in eng. literature using the contrasts to express theme works powerfully and you are powerful in expressing the theme in your mind.. tony
