If I were taken now I would remember the light in your hair The darkness at the center of your eye If I were taken now I would remember the small of your back The arc of your shoulder If I were taken now I would give thanks For teh kindness you showed in loving me so easily If I were taken now I would remember your breath on my cheek The soft conspiracy of your kiss If I were taken now I would remember how quickly you laugh Warm as winter's kitchen If I were taken now I would ask forgiveness For every time my thoughtlessness caused you pain Or made you doubt me A swarm of stars A fleet of fireflies Would pilot me into the night I would not be frightened But I would miss you I would miss you
