Final chapter

If the world was ending,

Would you be there?

I’d be standing on a roof

Shooting a flare.

Would you race by my side?

To wipe away my tears,

Holding me in your arms

As we faced our final fears.

When we take our last breath,

Could you look me in the eye?

Tell me everything will be okay

Knowing our dreams would die.

Tomorrow will be ashes

Yesterday would be gone,

No more walks on the beach

Or dusk until dawns.

But in our final moments

I know that I will be okay,

As you’d be there beside me

Which no force could take away.
