I Would Give You The World

The cool airs drifts across your body and chills run across it. I see you shiver for a brief moment as your body tries to warm itself. I want to hold you close to me just to keep you warm and safe from the surrounding air. I would gladly give you the shirt off my back if you would but ask. It is the very least that I can do.

The sun's heated rays beam heavily down upon your small frame. Your body is adjusted to the heat but if you should ever need shade, I would stand in front of you to block the sun off your face. I would give you the last sip of water from my bottle or last bite of my ice cream. I would do whatever to aid in your comfort, for my comfort would come second to your own.

The rain pours heavily down upon the Earth outside from the clouds above. I would gladly give you my umbrella to keep you dry and warm and from getting a cold. I would run outside to get your car to bring it to the door. My own health would come second to your own.

The time passes quickly and darkness descends upon the Earth. I would gladly stay past my time to walk you to your car. I would do this just because I could not stand the thought of someone laying their hands upon you with ill intentions. Your protection and security would come second to my own.

We walk along slowly the beach together and find a genie's lamp buried in the sand. If we were fortunate to be granted three wishes, two wishes I would give to you to spend. The third I would save for myself wishing for merely more time with you.

The days and month pass, and time slowly begins to slip away from me. My only wish I would have on my dying day is to have just another to hold you in my embrace for just a little while longer. Even if this were not to be, I could still die merrily because I had spent a life worth living with the only person worth giving my entire being to daily.

I would give you the world if you were to ask, because a smile from your face makes it all seem worth it.
