If I could be with you right now, forever, today,
I would build you a home made of wood
and warmth.
I would stoke the fire and make bone broth soup.
Wipe your head with my apron. Kiss you.
I would invite you to bathe when I see your brow furrow.
Wash your worries into a basin of love. Hold you.
We’d adventure and live and love and play,
If I could be with you right now, forever, today.
