I’ll love you when you die
I’ll remember who you are
I can see your heart from here
We are never very far
From colliding in the stars
As our maps express their paths
We dance while we are living
I smile, you smile, we laugh
I’ll love you as you live
I’ll remember who you are
I’m not that important
I’m a fraction of a star
I’ll love me forever
As I piece me back together
Through rough and stormy weather
Thanks for helping me complete
The pieces of me that were so deep
That kept me up at night
No sleep
That had me scared to even peek
In the mirror
That you are
You made it kind
You made it soft
I took the program from inside
And I shut that fucker off
New patterns now emerge
In the places that you triggered
More than ever
More than ever
My love it does grow bigger
I love you as you breathe
I love you as you sleep
I love you when we drift apart
I love you when we meet
Until the next dance
I’ll partner with myself
You were there to hold my hand
To nurture my good health
As we fade into the background
Of each other’s active lives
I’ll pray for you each moment
With the love I’ve been supplied
Grief is but a journey
One that takes me through the depths
To that river of my soul
Lined with glory and missteps
I’ll love you
That is all
I love you
As your are
I’ll miss you when you are gone
But for now, here we are
I forget sometimes how much I love poetry, and yours is especially sublime. Thank you.
