Waiting...

In the end
There is just the two of us
All alone
And washed up on shore
There’s nothing left
Nothing but forgotten vanity, forgotten promises

“Did everyone die?” I ask you.
You don’t know
It was all so fast
In the blink of an eye
Everything was gone…

“Why did we live?” I ask shakily.
“Why am I here with you, you lived oceans away.”
You answer, grabbing my hand, “he wanted us together.”
“As in God?”
You shrug, but then nod.
“So for us to be together, everyone must die?”
I start to cry.
You kiss me and tell me everything will be fine.

But it’s not fine if the only way to be with you is at the end of the world, you don’t understand. I love you, and I can’t wait for you that long. I need you, I yearn for you with every breath I take. I want you.

Now.
