Many years from now
I want to be there when you die;
To hold your hand gently
And whisper 'All is well'.
If possible to die with you,
To lay our sweet affair to rest
In a way that befits
Those who have known
The depth of separation's wound -
And how it came to be healed.

I read this piece twice Steve - the pain of separation yet depth of feelings so well described in a few lines..
