If I Could Give You Anything

If I could wish for anything, you could read my mind for a moment

see how I see you, feel how I feel,

understand what I have been saying,

prove your anxieties wrong,

just long enough to commit it all to memory.

If I could give you anything, you would have peace of mind

security, commitment, love without fear of abandonment,

knowledge that you could trust

if you want me, I am yours,

recurring reminders as often as you need them.

You would never have to wonder,

never doubt, never question

who or what you are to me,

a truth I will settle for saying again

and again

and again

and . . .
