if we were birds

If we were birds would you still smile at me
the first time our shadows
crossed?
If we were birds
would vou still not ask
where my nest is
Where i belong ?
If we were birds
I would call vou to my branch-
offer vou flax seeds
And feed it to vou
Beak to beak
If we were birds
would vou still not sit
On the same branch with me
If we were birds
Would vou still not call my .
name
In vour chirp.
If we were birds,
Would vou still fly away from
me
And never circle vour wav back
And mavbe....iust mavbe
If we were birds
I would still watch vou leave
With those wings wide open
And watch vou disappear in
the sky
And never find vou while i fly
I would still have longed for
If we were birds .
you.
And yet let you go
