If I Could Choose

---

If I could choose
my place to die
It would be here...
My head in the cradle of your shoulder
Our bodies entwined,
My hand caressing
the soft fur on your chest.

If I could choose my last day
It would be here...
Listening to your whispers of love
While I breathe you in,
Profound
with the awe of each other.

If I could choose
where to take my last breath
It would be here...
Hearts matching rhythms, slower now,
Eyes mirroring the wonder
of loving just shared,
...If I could choose.
