The Best of Me

Pinpricks tingle through my face

An instant of fear makes my heart race

A memory of staggering heartbreak

Then sleep and peace —give me release —from the choice I had to make

I awake again with more to live

To grasp the chance —once more— with love to give

The regrets will be buried again—but shallow and near—as they always should be

To experience again —and again —because I need them to remind me—to see

To remind me of what is truly valuable —and needed —and wanted —and true

That I will do my best —and give my all —before it is through

To leave all my love with those I cherish

To give them fond memories of our life —before I perish.
