Every Breath

There's a light in the distance,
bright against the dark,
but I question its existence;
for it's such a tiny spark.
It is curious and blinding
and it will not fade away
and for all my never-minding,
there is something I should say.
I know I'm letting go
and I know you will forget
and I'm watching the light grow
as I'm filling with regret.
So, place your hands in mine
and I'll keep you nice and warm.
We are running out of time,
racing fast toward the storm.
I am safe in your heart beat,
despite this slow, impending death.
In the darkness, we will meet.
I loved you with every breath.
