I used to want to die in her embrace
My last breath leaving from
The taste of her lips.
“Used to” is not bad
Yesterday’s not far away.

Just a flip in thought
and I’m there again.

Now? I’m afraid.
Scared to lose myself.
Afraid of the unknown.
Scared to become no one I know.

Or perhaps someone known,
But forgotten.
Lost.
Abandoned.

Courage too isn’t far away.
Just a flip in thought.
Always there.
Just under surrender.

A leap in the dark
Into the abyss of what’s to come.
Into an ocean of Love.

To die before I die.
To kiss her once more.
Then  rise from here
and float in the ocean.

One day soon.
I’ll die to her again.
My heart will be all remaining.
And nothing else matters.
