If I Were

If I were a color
I’d be the soft pink of a black cat’s tongue
The sweet sticky pink of fresh bubble gum
Glistening pink found inside a seashell
Pink sultry sunsets of an afternoon swell
Warm pink bath bubble, sparkling waterfall mist
The pink of a rose as it grazes my wrist

If I were a sound
I’d be the screaming silence of a brand new dawn
The gentle silence of the bed I lay on
Waves of silence on a turquoise beach
Silent snowflakes just out of my reach
Cool evening quiet, fireplace content
The silence of days that I have not yet spent

If I were a taste
I’d be the sour raspberry of a freshly baked tart
The sweet subtle raspberry in the still life of art
Swirling raspberry on top of whipped cream
Screaming raspberry fresh out of a dream
Frozen raspberry, a cool Daquiri
The raspberry feeling that’s inside of me

If I were a smell
I’d be the freshest new scent of the stormy old sea
The balmy sensation that rains over me
Oceans of raindrops in puddles of blue
Sweet flowing rivers, reflections of you
Warm running water in baths of pure bliss
The scent of the seaside that I often miss

If I were a touch
I’d be the largest of hugs that feels overdone
The queasy sensation that’s sent from someone
Fleeting romantics that don’t seem to end
Hugs curling round me sent from a new friend
Simmering feelings and hot to the touch
The hug from another not asking for much

If I only were
If I ever were not
If some of this sadness
Could just be forgot
