It was always going to end, 
but that didn’t stop us at the end of the day. 
We turned blind eyes into each other and promised forevermore.
Each second more was another one to be grateful for. 
Neither of us were finished dancing,
the final curtain was not yet for us.
We wanted more, so we kept going,
even though the countdown had already begun. 
Each ‘tick’ echoes the reminder that our time closes in, 
but all we could hear is a musical time piece to count us in. 
Each 'tick' another step with you by my side.
Each 'tick' another note to our symphony. 
The foundation was in fragments, 
like lovingly laid stained glass beneath our feet.
Each step of this dance along the mosaic we created, 
like paintbrushes for legs; would paint our journey red,
and we kept going.

‘Tick’
“forward... side... together" 
‘Tick’
"back... side... together”
"Don’t look away,
not for one second"

So we wait for the cue, 
listen carefully for the 'tick',
a second feels like forever with you, 
and we will ask, 

“one more”.
