And if I asked for comfort
crossing out my mistake
beautiful consolation
though your heart it may break
Could you?

And if I pleaded for humanity
if it were possible to live
together peacefully
to take and to give
would you?

If I wished you be sightless
unable to see my sin
gaze at the wonder
aglow from within
could you?

If I asked you to bathe
with me in my past
dried with my future
if forever it could last
would you?

And if I requested eternity
if it were possible to give
when faced with such futility
when we die as we live
could you?
