What Would You?

What would you do
If I held you?
If I embraced you tightly and kept you safe
Would you hold me back?
Would you let me be your haven?

What would you see
If I stood before you and bared my soul?
Would you see me, the woman?
Or would you just see your capable, reliable, always professional
But asexual partner?

What would you hear
If I asked for your heart?
Would you think it a joke?
Would you see my need?
Would you even be listening?

What would you feel
If I kissed you?
Pity? Sorrow? Anything?
Would you push me away,
Or would you welcome me home with your lips?

What would you need
To make you happy?
Could I ever hope to be the one
Who brings a smile to your eyes and
Gladdens your heart?

What would you say
If I told you I loved you?
Would you say it back?
Would you mean it the way I do?
Would you even care?

What would you do
If I left?
Would you try to stop me?
Would you let me go?
Would you even notice?

Well, would you?
