If I were to take a chance

and cast my lot

loosely upon the sea,

hopelessly and forever lost,

would you be there

without question to rescue me?

 

If I were a sad spirit,

wanting only to be alone

and momentarily free,

could you say yes

while not asking

why my thoughts were only of me?

 

If I were to envision a sparkle

and venture to fly

beyond man’s untraveled sky,

win or lose would you be there —

but more importantly,

not asking why?

 

If I were to silently sit

gazing in your eyes — consuming your love

if but for only an hourglass season,

could you accept openly

with no questions

of my purpose or reason?

 

Oh, how I love you for never

a question asked

and for feeling

that what we have is true and not a sham,

and in return with your happiness as my plan,

I will try to be to you

all the things you dream I am.
