If the world was to end tomorrow
I would sleep next to you tonight,
safely away from the world,
sheltered from the midwinter cold
by your body and your soul

If the world was to end today
I would hold you every last minute,
relieved from fear and from pain,
protected from the darkness
by your hand’s caresses

If the world was to end this very moment,
you would carry me gently,
through light and through air,
showing me the beauty of eternal life

If I could speak only one word,
I would speak it to your heart
If I could remember only one tune,
I would sing it to your soul
If I could hold you one last time,
I would hold you for a lifetime

And if I had only 30 seconds to live,
I would spend them looking into your eyes
