If I Told You That I Love You. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

If I told you that I love you,
would you believe me.
Would you listen to my words
with care and feeling.

Would you understand my depth
of passion for you,
of all that is true.
Or would you throw it all away,
when your feelings swayed.

For my heart beats with every
essence of you,
And when the tide goes out at night,
and the stars shine down on my love for you,
they lift it up so it floats across the land,
and forests to where you are my darling.

If I told you that I love you,
would you believe me.
would you listen to my words
with care and feeling.

Verse: Sandra Kavanagh (c) .
