between the lines

I wonder if I wrote you a book
If you'd read every word
If you'd stay until the end
and run your fingers
over every last line
if you'd hear my voice
and the way I pause
to take a breath
between secrets
only you'd keep

I wonder if I asked you
To run away with me
If you'd plant your feet
Or run wild & scared
with your hand
tied to mine

I wonder if you could go back
what you'd choose to say
to the girl you know now
on our first day
