I For You

Id kill to see that smile one last time
Id die to make you better
If a demand was made to make you safe
Id follow it down to the letter

I would cut myself, bleeding dry
if my blood meant you would live
Id offer all the life that's me
and more if I had it to give

I'd exhale my last breath
Id breathe it to make you breathe
I would gladly take your place in death
saying "I love you" as I leave

For someone incredibly special no doubt, to say the least. Very beautiful. Sorry if this means someone you love is ill. Hoping it is more imagination. Love, Shar
