If, In Another Day

If, In Another Day

Khansa salwa A.

If the world exhaled its last breath, 

the roots of each trees won’t grip itself to the ground anymore.

That will be my time 

the time that i’ll took a glance at you,

and whispered

“if this is the last time

 by the end of the disaster, 

 please to God 

 to let our bodies stay on hugging tightly 

and beautifully placed there,

where angels will surround us, 

where the great wind won’t even dare to seperate us.

Then He would saw us, 

revealing, that this was the God’s favorite pair.
