If

If

by dan ankers

If I could fly a plane to where you are

or even more simply drive a car

Nothing in the world would change my mind

I’d be there in as few as possible

instances of time

(as destiny allowed)

If only I knew you wanted me

by your side

I would attempt to swim across any sea

and if drowning in the process were my fate

the thought of you would keep me smiling

as I’d fade

Perhaps I’d wash up on shore

in your arms?

or in another life we’d reunite?

If only there were answers

to my questions

If only I weren’t lonesome

in the night
