If I had been you by Sukhpreet Singh

If I had been you

I would not have let your heart rot

on the sad and hopeless piers hot. 

Would have taken all your glooms

to nourish the love sapling bloom…….

Would have taken your visage in tight hold,

with tender care and ample kisses bold,

to kick your blues in the air,

and prove my love rich and rare.

I would have cried but told,

stay fit and fine and play bold.

But inside would have held tight,

my pricking and dreary gloom kite.

Would have never put at stake,

the scanty hours which make,

my day and may be yours too,

happy and blooming free from rue!
