If I Die Before We Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

If I die before WE
Look deep in your heart and remember only that which made you smile:
Feel with your heart only that which calmed the storms in your soul,
For when you lose your head in the heat of passion, remember not to be senile:
Remember only your youth with the love your heart did pour.
If I die before we, just know through your smiles I live:
For in my eyes like the full Moon, you always did glow,
Remember this because with every beat in your heart I too did breathe;
So when your eyes are filled with sadness, just know I live through your tears as they flow.
Remember our kiss like an old folk song;
The rhythm with which your hips swang, shall calm your fears,
Remember the times you did Right by me and not the Wrong;
Close your eyes and imagine my finger melodically wipe your tears.
I know the profundity of our love compared only to the sea;
While the height of our passion, no Bird could ever fly,
So if I die before We, just know you live also for me;
For the number of times i fell in love with you is more than the stars in the sky,
And so I pray you thrive even if I die before we...
