If today was my last day

A/N: inspired by "Nuvole Bianche" composed by Ludovico Einaudi

If today was my last day, I would wake up next to you and watch you sleep peacefully next to me.

In the comfort of our bed and in the security of my embrace, is where I would want to breathe you for the very last time.

I would caress you with my eyes and be in awe of your beauty.

It'll be like watching a beautiful sunset for the very first time and I would get butterflies in my stomach, just like when I kissed you for the first time.

Lucky is not even close to how I would feel to have love and be loved by you.

Are you dreaming of me? I would wonder if it was so.

I would move closer, snuggle into you and brush a tender kiss on your soft lips.

You would taste like strawberry balm and a hint of mint, like when I stole a kiss from you while you were asleep.

Yes, I would cherish these last few seconds. That I know.

"I love you" is what I would whisper in your ear; three simple words that evokes such profound emotions in me.

I would memorize your face; did you know that you look angelic when you sleep?

You'd smell like vanilla and honey, just like the day when you said you loved me too.

The softness of your skin would remind me of rose petals, like the ones scattered across our bed and on our bedroom floor.

Your presence consumes my every thought, my every action and my very existence; you know that already.

Engraved in my mind is your smile because it's the last thing I would want to see before life is breathed out of me.

You're my perfect imperfection; my soul mate; my muse; my everything.

I would leave this earth knowing that I loved you with all my might.

My only regret would be not having you by my side but, I know that we'd find our way back to each other some way, somehow in another life.

"I love you" would be the last thing I'd say to you because you'd know that I meant every word.

I'd close my eyes and see only you.
