If You Were There

The farthest reaches where I go-
Lie still as death beneath the snow
Until the Spring and summer days
When sunlight dazzles me with rays.

The longest walks, my cares all fade
A perfect world was somehow made
For me to find, to sit, and care
And think about if you were there.

What could either of us see?
A love that isn’t meant to be?
Is there ever such a thing?
Hearts where hopeless wishes cling.

If you were there I could not hide
Enduring love that glows inside
At just my simple thoughts of you-
If you were there, what would we do?

John H. Bidwell

Unless she is imaginary, a fantasy, then your rhetorical question is better left unanswered. But if she is real, don't let your question become a regret. This is another JHB classic.

A far reaching romantic poetic song. Well done John!

So "right there" touching and beautifully worded. This touches the heart and the imagination.

Love ya!

Classic poetry at its best. A simple question that never rests. With love entwined that stands the test of time. I love the beauty and simplicity of this timeless question. Bravo!

Love this, John.

"If you were there, what would we do?"

Such a question begs an answer, but the answer and reality are two very different things. It is one of those questions which has only one answer in my way of thinking. "If you were there, what would we do?" You would do whatever you are still thinking about the breakup. You would reconcile if both wanted that. Then again if there was still animosity, you would walk away like before.

The Heart's Way by Rebecca McKeehan

Love is universal and not limited to the most perfect among us. In this collection of romantic short stories and poetry, love comes to those who are decidedly imperfect, who possess very real human flaws, scars, and challenges. Awaiting us as we are.
