Just One

What would it feel like if you were to be just one No one here but you, the moon and sun The last man left to walk on the face of earth No girl left here to give a new child birth What would you do to make the time pass by Who would make you laugh; who would make you cry No boy to pick up a ball and to have a catch No wife to share your love or make you lose your breath I know at times that it may seem that way That you might be a one for the whole day But what if in the end, this thought came true And to your left and right, there is no one but you I think that this dream of mine would make me sad To be in a world of one, I think would be real bad My heart would feel just like the words in this rhyme Each one of them takes one beat at a time

Awesome job!! This is such a creative spin on the "one to one" theme. I think as long as I had an endless supply of books, I could (maybe) survive being the only person on earth :) Congrats!
