Before the world shuts down for me

I wish to keep turning pages, 

One page every day, 

I will pen a line on every page, 

It will start with your name and

End with yours, 

Everything in between is our story of love. 

The pages may age, 

My hands may wither, 

The writing shaky, 

Your name scrawled, 

But, I will continue 

Till the last page or my last day. 

You will be the end of my story, 

Your name will be the last I utter. 

My only prayers to the great lord, 

That you hear my last whisper and

Your face is the last I should see. 

When my eyes close gently, 

I would still fight to get another glimpse, 

Another glimpse, 

And another, 

Yet another

Before the world shuts down for me.
