If the World Falls Apart

If the world falls apart,

I don’t care,

As long as you are there,

By my side,

And I don’t care how you wear your hair,

Up there or down there,

I’ll walk this journey with you

Stride for stride,

They said I was different,

Lord knows I tried,

Back when my own race couldn’t relate,

I felt like De La Soul having to demonstrate

That there was more than one way to be cool,

But you always saw them for the fools

They were,

Fantastical, magical the way your brain worked,

And I had this thing with words,

Fate allowed two flames to flirt,

Back when cuckoo dames

Would catch the choo-choo train to work,

You allowed me to tag you like graffiti,

Long before the logo,

You used to rock me until I was sleepy,

I’d wake up to that smile,

You’d press your ass against me,

And say, “How you like me now?”

If the world falls apart,

I don’t care,

As long as you are there,

By my side,

And I don’t care how you wear your hair,

Up there or down there,

I’ll walk this journey with you

Stride for stride

I remember our first time,

I had the worst lines,

But you already knew we would combine,

No matter what I uttered,

Even if the aliens hovered,

Your motion was so effortless,

Straight forward, when you told me,

I was standing under a mistletoe

“So, we better kiss…”

You were just as eager to do the nightly grind,

You preferred I hit it from behind,

But only after,

I recited a couple of dope rhymes,

Notebooks full of hooks

Were recycled into Planet Zudo,

The Sultan, and orgies of ideas,

I set off all the minefields

Just to hone my skills,

So, if the world fell apart,

I didn’t care,

Because I knew you would always be there…
