would've

when i say i just

wanted to make you happy

i mean i would’ve given you

the whole world if you asked for it.

i mean i would’ve moved mountains

and crossed oceans for you.

i mean i would’ve jumped in front

of a bullet or a speeding car

if it meant keeping you safe.

i mean i would’ve dropped everything

if you called me and said

you needed me.

i mean i would’ve picked up milk

if you said you were out

and brought you a pie, just in case.

i mean i would’ve travelled the world

and taken risks and done things

i never thought i could do.

i mean i would've loved you

wholly

with all of my heart and soul.

and i would’ve been happy

doing those things if it

meant you were happy too.


this one was for you.
