IF I COULD…
If I could play a lost chord strumming it into existence
Perhaps sing through the scale better than perfectly
Or answer the unanswerable with amazing insight
If I could offer every last penny – leaving me none
Or stroke her hair with 100% affection
Climb a mountain without being out of breath
Slam a car door without making a noise
Eat a meal with no sleepy effect
Drink a litre of milk and forget I did
If I could arrive on time every time
Or hang the painting straight – straight away
Stand for hours without flinching
If I could…
I could be your friend –
couldn’t I?
