If only …
(British Anonymous)
If only I were a mint leaf,
in your cocktail glass,
I would add freshness

If only I were a glazed cherry,
adding a touch of colour,
I would bring a sweet-bitter taste

If I were a bitter lemon
in your signature cocktail,
I would add a touch of reality
to our stormy Love …
If I were an ice cube,
cajoled in your shaker,
I would extinguish the fire
of your burning desire …
If only …
