One Day
If one day you let me draw your face
In the dark midnight sand
I would kiss you on your lips
and push you away
If one day you let me write your name
In the deep ocean waters
I wouldn't stop til you stayed
I would drown before I let go
If one day you let me cry for you
amidst a brightly lit fire
I would slowly put the flame out
tears to flame, one by one
If one day you let me love you
anywhere in the world
I would do it
right now
