If I Were You

(poema de autoria de ELISABETH PRESCHER)

If I were you

I would love me.

I’d look at me

And talk to me just tenderly,

If I were you.

If I were you

I would not rush out of my side

I’d not mind the time

I’d have my picture in your heart

If I were you.

If I were you

I would not leave before saying ‘Good Morning”

Nor sleep before saying ‘Good Night’

I’d keep me in night dreams and by daylight

If I were you

But, I’m not you.

And you are not me

And, for you, I’m now

Nothing but a passer-by

Just a passer-by…
