If I were taken now
I would remember the light in your hair
The darkness at the center of your eye
If I were taken now
I would remember the small of your back
The arc of your shoulder
If I were taken now
I would give thanks
For teh kindness you showed in loving me so easily
If I were taken now
I would remember your breath on my cheek
The soft conspiracy of your kiss
If I were taken now
I would remember how quickly you laugh
Warm as winter's kitchen
If I were taken now
I would ask forgiveness
For every time my thoughtlessness caused you pain
Or made you doubt me
A swarm of stars
A fleet of fireflies
Would pilot me into the night
I would not be frightened
But I would miss you
I would miss you
