Pour Toi



If I had been the one to love you,
If it had been me who first loved you,
Your life, our lives, would be complete
And we would be
Happy.

I would love you so deeply,
Far more than I do myself.
I'd be there to listen,
to see you through every crisis.
My love would surround you,
My loyalty bow to you.
I'd dream all your dreams with you,
So intensely would we work together,
And we would be
Happy.

Because all that you wanted,
I would want also.
All that you were, I would have been.
If only I, had been the one,
Who first loved you.
