Likely event

 From Poetry light

In the likely event that I don't get the

privilege of growing old with you,

if we don't get that chance.

If the universe conspires against us

and oceans stand in our way.

If the fates betray us and our story fades.

I will settle for

one minute,

a few moments,

a fleeting second,

just to know

you have lived.
