If…
Erick Arvizu 1980 (Williamsburg, VA)
Had we met first
I wouldn’t of waited a day
To tell you that I love you
And give my heart away
There wouldn’t be a second
That a doubt would linger
On bender knee I’d ask
For your hand and finger
You’d never be confused
Of the feelings I have
I’d spend all of my breath
Being your other halve
If I was the one
You so deeply loved
I’d hold you so tightly
You’d be my beloved
Your fierceness would enthrall
I’d be helpless to your gravity
I’d build a family with you
And you’d be all I’d see
If…
