If I Cannot Love You

If I cannot love you
I will love the trees;
They do not judge my intensity.

If I cannot kiss you,
I will kiss the clouds;
They do not ask me to withhold my tears.

If I cannot touch you
I will touch the sky;
He does not fear the vibrations of my heart.

If I cannot lay with you
I will lay with the earth;
She does not restrain my release to her.

If I cannot scream with you
I will scream with the world;
My agony gets lost in the crowd.

If I cannot be with you
I will just be with me;
Silence asks nothing else of me.

But, if I cannot hold you
I do not know what else to do.
