Love In Question
If I hand thee a rose
would you smile from beneath your bonnet?
If I played thee a song
would you sing me a sweet sonnet?
If I touched your hair softly
would you blush and turn away?
If I started to leave
would you ask me to stay?
If I took your hand in mine
would you hold on for a moment?
If I ask thee to marry
would you accept the betrothment?
If I laid down beside you
would you welcome my love?
If I were father to your child
would you thank the gods from above?
If I passed from this world
would you mourn me for the rest of your days?
If I called to thee from beyond the stars
would you walk with me forever and always?
