You First, Please
Beloved, though it be selfish
I pray I die before you
I cannot fathom life
without your smile
the curve of your hip
the scent of your hair
the feel of your soft cheek
the gentle touch of your hand
Let my last sight be your soulful eyes
let my last sensation be your soft hands on my face
let the last thing I hear be your sweet voice whispering
Let the last thing I say be I love you forever

This entire poem is tender and bittersweet, but I find the most beautiful line to be “Let my last sight be your soulful eyes.” This reminds me of the Winnie the Pooh quote, “If you live to be 100, I want to be 100 minus one day, so I never have to live without you.”
What a wonderful gift life has given you, the gift of beautiful words for the love of your life. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful.
