My Favorite If Poem by Elizabeth Sheaffer

Lay with me in a meadow of bright green,
Watching the clouds as they float o'erhead.
Tell me how you feel; just say what you mean.
Don't speak to me with a riddle instead.

Laughter floats across the meadow
As we lie together, happy and free.
I want you with me wherever I go;
I'll be happy if you are with me.

Your smile warms my heart as the sun cannot,
And I join my hand with yours as one.
Without even trying, my heart you have caught,
As we lie, laughing, beneath the rays of the sun.

This bliss seems eternal and everlasting
And you make me feel as no one else has.
Promise me you're not just pretending;
Tell me you're different from those in the past.

I feel your lashes against my cheek;
Soft butterfly kisses in the wind.
Now that I have you, no more will I weep;
I just hope that this doesn't come to an end.

There's something about you I cannot resist,
Something that lodges you in my mind.
Your eyes meet mine as you steal a soft kiss,
And I know that I've found something truly divine.
