If ever

One has to leave before

I will trade my life

With yours

For I cannot envision a life

Without you

Now that I have you

Am I possessive

Am I being selfish

No, coz I don't have you with me

In actuality

Even if we are connected 

Soulfully

How do I love life

Without you in it

I breathe the same air, as thee

So if ever, one has to leave before

It has to be me.
