What If Poem by nikki hays

What if the sky was green,
The grass was blue
You were here
And i was too
The nightime shadows
Cast by the moon
reflected on me and you

What if the ocean didnt divide
Our continents too far and wide
And then together we would stand
The two of us just hand in hand
The way we imagine it to be
Reflections of you and me
But now return to reality

What if your life was closer to mine
What if we had just a little more time
And governments would be easily appeased
Together for real not in our dreams
When money grew on apple trees
Or human kind finally grew wings
Then we would be where we are meant to be
Holding each other you and me

What if a warrior you were not
And the war on the streets would just stop
No longer afraid for them to know our names
The two of us could stop playing games
If we could stand on the highest hill
And scream to the world this is us, be still
Or travel down the rivers long
Join together in a lovers song
But this cannot be, not at this time
There are you and here am i

What if i were to board a plane
And come to you through fire and rain
Like we dream it has always been
No more silent protesting no more dreams
What if i could change the world
No more crime, Just you and your girl
If i had the power you know it would be
Always forever you and me

We hide in the darkness
Afraid to come out
Too scared to tell others
What our love is about
Too many years have we now been apart
I want you so badly it breaks my heart
Foreign lover you call my name
And out of the darkness to me you came
In your arms i lay down together at last
This is my dream now as it was in the past
