My Reckless Heart Poem by dino evans

If I said Loved you, would you walk away from me?
Even if you felt you loved me to...
If you didn't want to hear it, would it echo through your day?
From the lonely heart, that breaks for you...

If your mind, and my mind were having the same thought...
Would you lock the door, and shut me out?
Leave me to my nights insane, and all my days distraught...
I think you feel the things, I talk about...

If thoughts became reality, could we believe it's real?
Maybe these are things I shouldn't say...
Because of circumstance, this distance seems to steal...
But the chance for love cannot be thrown away...

If I told you that I want you, would I be a fool for this?
Or would this be a thought you'd hope to hear...
If I was standing next to you, could I steal a kiss?
And throw my reckless heart in up in the air...

If I told you how you make me feel, would you stop me as I speak?
Or would you listen, heart open and strong...
Do I have to stand here hoping, feeling small and weak?
Or can you take me back, where I belong...

If I heard you say goodbye to me, would my heart explode?
Would it cease to beat inside my chest...
Could you say that love for us was too far down the road...
And leave me here behind, with all the rest...

If I told you I was all alone, would you come to me?
To break this loneliness I have for you..
And give my harsh existence, a reason just to be...
To bring a loving heart back into view..

I suppose it's all a futile dream, these things I want to say...
The sun will never shine for you and I...
But moonlight too, I've heard it said, can show love is the way...
And leave a pale and bright blue shining sky...

But could it light my way to you, and lead me to your door?
And would my body shake, if I was there...
To cause my mind to race, just being where you are..
Wondering if you would even care...

If I told you what I want to tell you, would you run?
Run away to cause my heart such pain...
Would you not want me to say, that you're the only one...
And all my dreams to love you be in vain...

I'll tell you this, I'll say to you the things that I believe...
I'm sorry, if I've caused your heart distress...
But if you closed the door on me I'd tell you as I leave...
It only hurts the one outside, I guess...

I suppose I shouldn't tell you all the things I've said today...
And I suppose it's been too hard for you to hear...
That love for us, impossible, we let it get away...
I've seen my happiness, just disappear...
