I’m not ready
to let you go
when the cancer takes its hold
and there are no other options
I cannot imagine
a world or a life
without you
even if
one day
I am lucky enough
to fall in love again
you are
and will forever be
the love of my life
I became my truest self
with you
and my life exploded with color
and texture and music
with you
and although
it would break my heart
for you to suffer
more than you already are
I cannot begin
to imagine my life
without you in it
