If you were close enough.

If you were close enough to reach,
I'd kick at you more than once.
If you were close enough to smell,
I'd hit at you more than twice.
If you were close enough to see,
I'd run to wrap my legs around you-
If you were close enough to feel
The breath of love on your shoulder,
If you were close enough to touch
This shy adventurer who wants to know you.

If we were close enough to know
That life would lead us through this,
If we were close enough to run
In any direction we wanted,
If we were close enough to hold
Each other's hearts very tender;

If I were close enough to be
A limb you always needed-
If I were close enough I'd be
The one you choose
To be wanted.
