Love Poem: What If

What If

What if I told you I love you?
There would be no lie in this
Lies would not slip from my lips that want to be pressed so badly against yours
Wrapped within your arms who will hold me on the coldest nights, mine will do the same 
At that point everything would disappear
well , everything other then you 
Because at that point you are the only thing that matters

What if I told you that I can’t undo this feeling?
Because you and your word are already infused within my bloodstream 
And wrapped in my mind
Unable to be entwined from my life
Because the imprint you have left on my skin 
May be there for a lifetime

What if I told you that I have been dealing with this for years?
But I threw it out the window because I was always told loving another girl was wrong
But in reality gender doesn’t matter, love does…
I don’t care if people were to give me weird looks 
Showing that they know that I love a woman 
I wouldn’t care
Because I love her

What if I told you that you are beautiful?
Just like the sky full of stars on a clear night.
Or like an ocean slowly moving onto shore
Or when the auburn and orange leaves fall from the trees at the peak of fall
You know that feeling you get when you see that amazing display?
That feeling of beautiful awe?

I feel that all over my broken body when I’m with you
Because you make me feel as if I’m whole and undamaged
Like i’ve never been hurt before

Hold me as tight as you can
While i whisper words of love into your ear
And block out the words of society 
Because they will say cruel words
Because we are both women
But we are more powerful than they will ever be 
Because we found love
