If

If words didn’t have meaning If songs didn’t have lyrics If music didn’t have notes If the sky didn’t have stars If the oceans didn’t have shores If birds didn’t fly Would you still be mine? If butterflies were stark If flowers lacked fragrance If my heart was square If the sun didn’t set at all If the trees’ canopy was my only roof If I existed only in your dreams Would you still love me? If marriage was just a contract If relatives could be bought If religion existed in mythology If sacred texts were pure science fiction If god never existed If there was no such thing as man and woman Would there still be you and me?
