Would it matter if I loved you,
If the words cried every day?
Could you want me in the darkness,
In the bitterness of gray?

If I missed you, would it matter;
That my heart was always there?
Would you whisper of your feelings
If you had a voice to spare?

If embraces gave you answers
And kisses made you laugh,
Could you love me like the morning
On a rarely taken path?

If chances took you by the hand,
Would it move to change your fate?
If I spoke of grace into your lips,
Would I find that it's too late?

If I smiled with detachment
Instead of loneliness;
Would you feel a perfect moment
If I'd fall and then confess?

If I hoped, would dreaming be in vain?
And faith begin to shatter?
I let myself ask silently.
If I loved you, would it matter?
