Pinpricks tingle through my face
An instant of fear makes my heart race
A memory of staggering heartbreak
Then sleep and peace —give me release —from the choice I had to make
I awake again with more to live
To grasp the chance —once more— with love to give
The regrets will be buried again—but shallow and near—as they always should be
To experience again —and again —because I need them to remind me—to see
To remind me of what is truly valuable —and needed —and wanted —and true
That I will do my best —and give my all —before it is through
To leave all my love with those I cherish
To give them fond memories of our life —before I perish.
