If you were wings,
I could soar high.
If you were life,
I would never want to die.
The simple things
can change our mind,
The story of love,
a book you cannot bind.
If you were the darkness,
I'd turn off the light.
If you were mine,
I'd hold on tight.
If you were a dream,
I would never awaken.
But you're just another risk
that will never be taken.

I really like this! There seems to be a touch of fantasy to it that makes it intriguing. Nice job.

Whoa. What inspired this? It's fascinating. It seems so sweet and then the last line goes bitter. Great job!
