The Last Of Us

By Sanjana K Shenoy

And if the world was ending tonight, stay with me a little longer, won't you?

dance with me slowly when the fire takes over everything we love, spin me around, my luv.

drive me into the fading night while we sing along to the song that we made ours.

Eat a little too many strawberries with me and drink an extra sip of that soda I have been thirsty all day for.

Run across the sunflower fields with me, bask with me under the golden light.

tell me I look beautiful and I will look away all shy, let me brush your hair and melt at your smile.

Hold me so tight that my one twisted rib would look right.

Freeze these moments in pictures and graffiti.

Hold my hand until our fingers are the only connection of what little we have left.

if the world was ending tonight, dare once more to tell me you love me and stay with me a little longer, won't you?
