if you were by my side by Richard Trotter If you were by my side Flowers would seem twice as red and I'd unearth the words in my head and give them all to you. If you were by my side we'd rest on the sandy earth cooled by the playful surf of the gentle tides. Yet when I was at your side I couldn't say a word and I know you never heard the screaming if my heart. 12/28/2003 Author's Note: an early poem., expressing the hopeless romantic part of my personality, with an emphasis on the "hopeless".
