I Would Rather…

I would rather be alone with you, than living with another;
I would rather be the reason for your smile;
I would rather help you hold on to your dignity and grace;
I would rather this, than compromise your style;
I would rather wear your love, as a tattoo, across my heart;
I would rather share your spirit’s truth and light;
I would rather be your fantasies, and live within your dreams;
I would rather this, than disrespect delight;
I would rather put a ring around a star, in your great honor;
I would rather build a castle in the air;
I would rather know the wedding of a goddess and a god;
I would rather this, because, for you, I care.
I would rather hear you murmur through the whisper of the wind songs;
I would rather feel your moisture through the rain;
I would rather taste your lips within the honey in my coffee;
I would rather this than ever cause you pain.
