If I Love Your Means

If I love you is the first step
to a goodbye steeped in lavender,
precious moments wrapped in soft tissue,
one last touch I can never put paid to,
then I do not love you.

If I love you is the opening page
to a book I will sail through,
and never want to finish,
if it is the start of a conversation
i never want to end,
then I do not love you.

If I love you is the first stone
in a wall that will grow
stronger and thicker
till the sun is a vague notion,
and the moon only a smoky regret,
then I do not love you.

And if i even think these words,
and know what they mean,
and still I turn from your eyes,
I love you can only mean
that I wish I did not---but still do.
