If I Were Yours

by Jada Andrews - Capricorn

If I were yours...

If I told you I loved you 
what good would it do, 
our hearts are so close 
but our bodies are so far away. 
and my hand yearns to be held 
my lips to be kissed, 
my face to be touched, 
and all of this would be missed 
if I were yours... 

If I said I needed you here 
how selfish would I be? 
I have no right to ask you 
to pack up your things 
and come to a place where 
you've never seen, 
take a risk on just a girl 
you've never even met... 
but if you did, 
I would most certainly be yours... 

If I said I didn't know what to do anymore 
would you understand? 
You're the epitome of everything 
I've ever looked for in another, 
and I want so badly to commit to you 
but I don't know if I can 
without really being with you 
first in person... 
I've never done this sort of thing before 
and I'm afraid... 

If I told you that I loved you 
what real good would it do? 
If I said I needed you here 
what kind of person would I be? 
If I told you I don"t know what I"m going to do... 
would you, 
could you understand.... 
If I were yours?

Reason for writing:

    fear of going into a new relationship that I know is different than anything I've ever tried before...
