If we never meet again...

If we never meet again

then let me hold you for a while, 

so that I'd remember the way 

your hands wrap around my tiny waist.

Give me a minute more 

to take in the smell of your perfume

that I never really liked. 

I want to listen to your heartbeat

like it's the soundtrack to my life. 

If we never meet again,

let me look at you once more, 

so I can memorize every single freckle, 

and that lopsided smile of yours. 

Look me in the eye,

so I know what color yours are. 

I want you to ruffle my hair

one last time

before you go. 

If we never meet again, 

I'd make sure you know, 

how much I hate that shirt you're wearing.

I'll tell you all my dirty little secrets,

and you would tell me yours. 

I'd thank you and tell you 

I love you. 

Then, I'd promise to live each day,

as if we'd never meet again.
