Before I Die

what will be
my last sensation
before I die –
will it be the
  touch
of your hand within mine?

what will be
the final taste in my mouth
before I die –
will it be your
  kiss
moist upon my lips?

what will be
the very last thing I hear
before I die –
will it be your
  whisper
in my ear?

what will be
the last sight in my eyes
before I die –
will it be your
  face
looking at me?

what will be
my last thought
before I die –
will it be
  of you
and our life together?

what will be
has not yet happened, but
before I die
I will live every day
  with you
until what may be becomes
what will be
