It seeps in like water leaking from a slow drip
That feeling of dread for what heartbreak lies ahead
Because of the immensity of my love for you
There is no telling if we will part abruptly
One day here the next one your gone
Or a slow erasing of our memories and capacities that
Settles into days that turn into years
Leaving behind a trail of death by a million cuts into
The fragile grief-stricken skin of our hearts
Will we know it's time for our last goodbye?
Which we would surely savor holding each other ahead of the last breath
Or will we be left there not knowing how death could vanish like
Steam trails in the sky?
And still both a moment to savor or not
Still seems much more generous than a fading so extensive
That stretches past when we could remember before
The memories were erased or when our cells were the healthiest
Underneath the uncertainty lies the ever solid grounding
That death is the only guarantee of this lifetime and the
Deep soil of our love cannot bypass the physical death that awaits
And underneath that destined fate is the even more undeniable truth
That I will find your delicious soul in every lifetime
