Hold me close.
Like two rose petals awaiting their fall.
Like two young children holding onto their youth.
Like the last two pages of your favourite book.
Hold me close.
As if today was the last day you'd touch my skin.
As of today was the only time to embrace my heart.
As if tomorrow we both will be gone forever.
Hold me close.
Through the cold frigid winters
Through my last dying breath.
Through the pearly gates where we continue our love.
Hold me close
and I will hold you closer.
I promise.
