If Only for You

I said what would you do
with a woman like me
he said you're the only
woman like you and 
God knows what I'd do if
I got to cherish you
I'd whisper your name
like a prayer in my soul
your essence spiced wine
dancing on my tongue
I'd put my head on your chest
and sync with your heart
I'd become the greatest man on earth
and our love would be art
I'd treasure your tears
and the gift that they are
I'd measure the years
by the stars in your hands
and number our days
to keep track of this daze
I'd bask like a king
under your lunar rays
I'd kiss your eyes
and esteem the lines
encasing your verdant
tungsten mind
I'd lean on your strength
where mine falls short
I'd hold you in mine
and stay the blessed course
I'd swim in your wisdom
that heady fruit
I'd lay my life down
if only for you
