I hope I die first
So that not to live
A single day
With no love to give

I wouldn't survive
A day on my own
If you were gone
And I was alone

If you were gone
And all that remained
Were all of our memories
And the mind they stained

My heart would be broken
Torn from my soul
If I lost the one person
That once made me whole

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
