persistence of being

asthewhitecrowflies:

and here is the blunt truth of it:
I will not live without you.

I will breathe
and I will walk
and I will fade with the years
but I will not live.

should the atoms in our bodies
see fit to disperse
I will follow you
and I will live in the spaces
between your electrons
and your affections.
