What I Would Die For
baby, I love you
every day you make me laugh
and I hate to hear you cry
so before I die
I just want you to know
you are more than my world
I can’t live without you
though one day I just might
so I want you to know
I will always think about you
talk to you as if you’re still there
so don’t ever be scared
because I love you
I don’t want to grow old without you
though one day I just might
so I just want you to know
that my hair will be all white
my body will ache from the daily pain
but I’ll get by
and my face will look like clay
you probably won’t recognize me
but when I see you, the smile will be there
so don’t ever be scared
because I will always love you
someday you might grow old without me
I could see it now
you’ll walk around with a walker
you will be sad because you need to wear a wig
but even still you’ll look at my picture
knowing that I’m waiting to kiss those lips again
because forever is how long I’ll love you
for now, I may not bring you flowers every day
but I’m here taking in all that I can
knowing I have so much in my hands
that if I lost it, I would lose my mind
but I’ll stay strong because I know that’s what you would want
and I expect the same of you if I die
because death won’t mean I’m gone
just away, till we meet again
every day you make me laugh
and I hate to hear you cry
so before I die
I just want you to know
you are more than my world
I can’t live without you
though one day I just might
so I want you to know
I will always think about you
talk to you as if you’re still there
so don’t ever be scared
because I love you
I don’t want to grow old without you
though one day I just might
so I just want you to know
that my hair will be all white
my body will ache from the daily pain
but I’ll get by
and my face will look like clay
you probably won’t recognize me
but when I see you, the smile will be there
so don’t ever be scared
because I will always love you
someday you might grow old without me
I could see it now
you’ll walk around with a walker
you will be sad because you need to wear a wig
but even still you’ll look at my picture
knowing that I’m waiting to kiss those lips again
because forever is how long I’ll love you
for now, I may not bring you flowers every day
but I’m here taking in all that I can
knowing I have so much in my hands
that if I lost it, I would lose my mind
but I’ll stay strong because I know that’s what you would want
and I expect the same of you if I die
because death won’t mean I’m gone
just away, till we meet again

Thanks 😁 it’s an older poem of mine, but probably one of my most special ones. I wrote it during a special time a few years ago.

Death has always been a scary thing for me to think of. Especially thinking about losing people you really care about. I lost loved ones before, but luckily never someone really close. The idea is scary. I think when I wrote this I wanted something that made me feel like there’s something more beyond the love of this world.
Thanks for enjoying 🤗
