If I Had You Poem by Carolyn Michael

If I had you
I’d give you my heart

I’d take it from my jumping chest
And place it in your hands
Walls would fall and crumble
Then turn to warm, white sand

If I had you
I’d save you from this world

I’d remind you every day you woke
That our years on this sphere collide
That they’re only half a blink in length
But they are infinitely wide

If I had you
I’d write you a song

I’d use your heartbeat for the rhythm
I’d take tambourine and horn
Pair it with your laughter for melody
And we’d dance to it ‘til morn
