If I Were Your Lover

                        If I were your lover, I'd adore you,
            making each new day your happiest day.
And I would make all your wishes come true,
coaxing your inner child to laugh and play.
                        You'd experience a lifetime of joy
for I would never treat you like a toy,
and the whole world would be yours to enjoy.
      You'd never fear the dark; I'd be your light,
            you'd never lose your way; I'd be your sight;
                        and in your fantasies, your shining knight.
You'd feel a love known only to a few;
            for I'd listen to every word you say, 
      without being condescending or coy;
           and we'd cuddle tight and talk every night.
