Analysis of If I Treated You Like Poetry
If I treated you like poetry,
I would watch my every word
And tell you of my untold stories
That no one else has ever heard.
If I treated you like poetry,
Not a single emotion would I hide
And I would take you with me
Everywhere and tell everyone with pride.
If I treated you like poetry,
I would just let everything flow
and share with you all I possess
And all that I have come to know.
If I treated you like poetry,
Each moment would last forever
And maybe now, in looking back,
Maybe that's why we aren't together.
