“If Only We Remain”

If the world were ending tomorrow,
all I would have is you.
I’ve got nothing left to lose;
you’re the only feeling that still makes sense
before everything collapses.
You’re the one reason I don’t want the world to end,
even though our love could outlast the chaos.

Tell me:
would you still love me
if it were only you and I,
two shadows wandering
through the hush after humanity fades?
Would your heart still choose mine
if every other love
collapsed into silence?

If the heavens cracked open,
the stars dim
and pour themselves into the night,
the moon surrenders its light
to the waiting dark,
would you take my hand
and escape with me
into another world?
When love turns sorrow-blue
and the map of joy makes no sense,
will you still walk beside me?

With you, I find comfort,
and hope.
With me, I want you to find
a place to trust again.
We are the promise that survives
after the sun gives its last breath of light.
Our love will outlive a dying world.

Know this:
what we create together
is beautiful,
will stand,
sturdy as morning,
gentle as dusk,
faithful against every ending.

Promise me you won’t let go.
Promise you’ll stay,
even after the last echo
of the world disappears.
