I would only be grateful when I realised that I would rather
have known you for a moment than never at all.
I would rather endure this explicable pain of outliving
you than never to have seen your face, spoken your name.
I would rather be yours, and you be mine, regardless.
Regardless of the sorrow, the sleepless nights, and the years
I will walk this earth, carrying you in my heart.
