If I were Yours

If I were Yours

Emily Hansel


If I were yours,

I would grab you by the hands

And yank you near me.

I would hold onto you

With all my might and never let you go.

If I were yours


If I were yours,

I would pace the sidelines yelling until my lungs give out,

Encouraging you to push yourself,

Then hug your sweaty self afterwards

No matter what,

If I were yours.


If I were yours,

My feelings that I keep in the depths of my heart would finally shine through,

but right now…

Until then,

I plaster a smile on my face because instead of me you've fallen for her.


Until I’m yours.
