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.
