If you

If you hold my hand right now
I would wish to die
if you would touch my cheek right now
I would wish to die
if you would kiss me for a moment 
I would wish to die 
but I know these are just dreams
and my dreams are either dead or about dying

for none,
none of them are about me living 
living in your embrace
I am wishing for
yet I know I am wishing hopelessly

as your absence dawns
gently, often strangling my throat
not literally though
but it feels so
and I wanted to say 

If you hold my hand right now
I would wish to die
if you would touch my cheek right now
I would wish to die
if you would kiss me for a moment 
I would wish to die 
but I know these are just dreams
and my dreams are either dead or about dying

Why do you torment me, 
maybe it is not you, it is me
dreaming, of torment 
but it is sweeter for it is yours
and only yours 

If you hold my hand right now
I would wish to die
if you would touch my cheek right now
I would wish to die
if you would kiss me for a moment 
I would wish to die 
but I know these are just dreams
and my dreams are either dead or about dying

Then, I see you
and you make me breathe
bring me back to life
I breathe your fragrance 
I wish to live again

If you hold my hand right now
I would wish to live
if you would touch my cheek right now
I would wish to live
if you would kiss me for a moment 
I would wish to live
Let this be my beautiful dream
for you are the like the sweetest dream
