if i could.

if i could solve the world's problems
if i could hush away harsh language from my brother's ears
if i could chase away stupid boys from my sister's presence
if i could spin hurricanes away from my parents' island paradise
if i could
if i could solve everything for you
if i could solve everything for me
if i could make you see the not-s0-distant future
if i could show you today isn't everything
if i could show you that you have so much to live for, breathe in, and inspire
if i could show how the world is waiting on the opposite side of your window frame



if i could pretend that all of your problems didn't make me want to solve every single one of them


if i could
if i could make you love me
if i could fix your brain
if i could fix myself



if i could be worth your time
if i could be enough






somehow, i never am for everybody that i touch
