If I ever
just get up
and walk-on, out through the door

Would you please
Come running after me
Yelling, that you do want more?

Compelling words whispered
How they mesmerize all my doubts
Mending my bones with
Your tender touching, between the shouts

If I ever
Turn my back
With my head down, so not to see

Could you willingly
Put arms around me
As an anchor, to safely hold me?

Subtle, smoothly-spoken comfort
Ease the pounding beats in my chest
Conquer the stubborn, silent, panic mode
Fill me in the now, till there's nothing left

If I ever
Try hiding my face
To cover up the mighty flood of tears

Tread over to me
Hands cupping my face
With teasing lips, smother those upsheaveled years

If ever I should
Could you
Would you
Ever

Be the one who's there?
