If time stopped,

Four years ago,

I'd have boarded a train from

Reading to Manchester

And I would have gone to your house

And we would have spent our last moment

In each others arms.

.

If the earth was burning,

Three years ago,

I'd have walked from

Campus to town

And I would have gone to your flat

And we would have wiped away each others tears

With soft shaking fingertips.

.

If the world was ending,

Two years ago

I'd have sprinted from

Room to room,

In our flat

And we would tell each other the things

We'd held back for years.

.

If the sky was falling,

One year ago

I'd have looked around

The room

Because you were never far behind me.

And I'd kiss your forehead

And apologise for the little things that annoyed you.

.

And if we were collapsing in on ourselves

Right now

I'd reach to my side

For your hand

Because thats all I'd need

And there would be no goodbyes

Because it wouldn't be the end.
