RATHER

would i rather?

would i rather?

would i rather?

would i rather?

would i rather?

would i rather?

would i rather

would i rather

would i come on would

i truly rather

?

would i rather see the ocean once in a lifetime

(and miss it for the rest of my days.)

than never feel the 

sand

beneath my naked feet ---

and never hear the

sound

of breaking waves.

and when you say

ALWAYS REMEMBER

ALWAYS REMEMBER

I'LL ALWAYS MISS YOU

I'LL ALWAYS MISS YOU

AND YOU'RE ALWAYS PART OF ME

AND I'M ALWAYS PART OF YOU

ALWAYS REMEMBER

what does it mean?

i remember your keychain.

i remember your leather Bible.

would i rather?

---

the privilege, you say, of loving.

to lie awake and miss.

and nauseate.

would i rather?
