"if"

I wish there was something i could do to make it all just go away.
If i could hold you to stop the pain, i would.
If i could let you know, you're not alone, i would.
If i could keep you from making big mistakes, i would.
If i could save you from yourself, i would.
If i could show you that i love you, no matter what your mood, i would.
If i could find a way to make the past stop haunting us, i would.
If i could make you see that you are beautiful, i would.
If i could take you to a place where nothing mattered, i would.
If i could have this all turn into a good experience, i would.
If i could stop the world from being so pretentious, i would.
If i could try harder to show you that i care, i would.
If i could give you every thing you ever wanted, i would
If i could do all this, i hope you know, deep in your heart, that i would.
No matter what.

Writing assignment

we had to do a paper on non verbal communication and i just wrote this one, hopefully it's enjoyable!

There she was, standing across the room. He knew she was the one the moment he laid eyes on her. As he watched her dance and sway with the music, he noticed how rhythmically gifted she was. His buddy laid a hand on his shoulder and broke him free of his trance. Without saying a word, his buddy looked from him to the girl, raised his eyebrows and pointed questioningly. As soon as his buddy saw the look in his eye, he started nodding in approval- his way of saying “go for it”. He walked slowly toward her; not wanting to seem too forward. She looked up at him. He froze like a deer in headlights. The connected gaze between them made his face flush. She blushed also and looked away. He didn’t know if he should keep coming until he noticed her smiling through the wave of hair that acted as a shield between her and him. He noticed her friend suddenly look at him, still frozen in the middle of the room, and she smiled and nodded, seemingly in approval of him. The friend then gestured with her hand waving him to her. He continued his approach, now knowing that the girl of his dreams knew he was interested. As soon as he got nearby, her friend started to inch away, giving him room to be near his dream girl. She looked at him and while keeping in time with the music, smiled and nodded at him. A slower paced song came on at that moment, and he offered his hand to her in hopes that she would dance with him. She hesitated, looked around the room, and then accepted. They stood with as much space between them as possible at first. As the song went on and they kept dancing, she slowly inched toward him until they were dancing completely together, not a millimeter between them. Still, they hadn’t had a chance to say a word to each other, the music being far too loud for any human to carry on a conversation. But he could tell from the way she acted that she was interested in him. The song ended and they were still wrapped in each other’s arms. They kept their embrace through the next few songs and she nuzzled her head deeper into his chest. All too soon, there was a tap on his shoulder. He looked up and saw a huge bulk of a man, with a very angry look in his eye. The behemoth gestured with his thumb to himself, the guy, then outside. Confused, our hero looked from the girl to the incredible hulk. She looked at him with a sad, apologetic look in her eye then disappeared into the crowd that was being formed around them. He put his hands up in surrender and backed away from the giant. The giant then broke his angry gaze and smiled at the joke that clearly no one else got. He reached out to the man and grabbed him against his side, shaking with laughter, pulled his wallet out and pointed to a picture. The picture showed an older couple, probably in their forties, the large man, another male, and the girl. The man then released him and shoved him towards the girl. She took his hands, smiled, and then led him away from the party so they could finally talk.
