“Just, until” & “A drop waiting”

Just, until 

 

Can you save the last, 

last dance for me, 

a last glance at me. 

Can you be my last, 

the last one I see, 

the last to hear me. 

Can you stay by my side, 

hold my hand, 

with this not planned. 

Please stay by my side. 

 

These things I ask of you, 

with my shallow breaths, 

fading towards death. 

I plead with you. 

Stay by my side, 

just, until I’ve died. 

 

 

 

A drop waiting 

 

From a flake I am born, 

from the sky was torn. 

Frozen, a touch of death,  

trying to hold my breath. 

 

Once again will be found, 

once the flake hits the ground. 

Reborn to a new fate, 

back to a liquefied state. 

 

After living as a flake, 

however long it takes, 

From which I was torn, 

to a drop being born. 

 

In a cloud being true, 

waiting to snow on you. 

A drop, I’m waiting to die, 

as a flake to softly fly.
