What I Would Give…
To
drown
in the last song
lingering on your lips.
To burn in the sun
setting in your eyes.
To remember how life
announced your arrival
with a scream and
shattered my eyes
into a thousand
tears of joy.
To stretch
your last
breath
a
bit
further.
What I would give
to make you stay a moment longer.
