this is it

if this is it
if this is all that i get
all that i am promised
let me know
so that i can remember every moment
savor every minute
don't stretch it out longer
than you had planned
if this is it
if this is all that i get
all that i am guaranteed
grant me one request
don't pull back too quickly
because then i won't remember
what was
but not too slowly either
because it might be too hard for me to let go
if this is it
if this is all that i get
because i have met my expiration date
don't make promises that we both know you won't keep
because i knew how it was from the jump
but i allowed myself to get swept up in
the what could be

if this it

if this is all that i get

i knew it from the start
