Dear Love

If I die hanging,
Hang in there.
If I die drowning,
Row ashore.
If I die falling,
Never look down.
If I die bleeding,
Remain sanguine.
If I die poisoning,
Lose no appetite.
If I die suffocating,
Breathe no regret.

Alas, more importantly;
If I die tomorrow,
Promise me, dear,
Have no sorrow...
For even if I die today:
My love will not, come what may.
