If you

If you stay, so will I;
If you walk, I’ll try
It asks too much of me, but I’ll try,
If you want to go away,
You can, I won’t ask you to stay.

If you try harder,
I’ll make efforts to equal yours,
If you call upon me, I’ll return your call.
If you say you’ll be around,
I’ll gladly acknowledge your presence.

If you come to me,
I’ll turn around to watch you,
Gather yourself together
I will watch you pick up the pieces,

If you want to you can,
You can bring your tears to me,
No, I’ll never ask to be heard
Even if my heart weighs heavy,
I’ll try and remain steady.

These feelings are for you,
You may never ask for them,
But gladly you receive ,
All I give
Ever so humble,
Ever so polite,

Yes, this all I can give,
Yes, there is no more,
No more of myself
That I can share.

You can never be much more,
Than all that you are
Never inseparable,
Never close,
Always unaware.

I will remain guarded,
I will be contained in your presence,
I will remain defensive,
I will remain absorbent,
No, nothing more
Never, anything more.
