he holds her
like she’s the last thing that
he will ever love
she looks at him
like he’s the last thing that
she will ever see
he kisses her
like she’s the last thing
he will ever taste
she talks to him
like he’s the last thing
her words will ever belong to
people look at them
like they’re the downfall
of the world
but they look at each other
like they’re the only ones
still standing
