&#039;The web was woven curiously,<br /> &quot;The charm is broken utterly,<br /> Draw near and fear not,&mdash;this is I,<br /> <br /> The Lady of Shalott.&#039;&quot;<br /> -Alfred Lord Tennyson

save for me
your last dance
last kiss
last smile
last breath

i do not need to be the first
as long as it is to your face i wake
from now until we both are gone

let me walk with you
hand in hand
to the pearly gates

kiss you goodbye
and hello again
on the
other
side

For you, because I am far from your first, but for now, at least, I will be your always.
