I Want to Die While You Love Me

By Georgia Douglas Johnson, 1880 – 1966

 

I want to die while you love me,

While yet you hold me fair,

While laughter lies upon my lips

And lights are in my hair.

 

I want to die while you love me,

And bear to that still bed,

Your kisses turbulent, unspent

To warm me when I’m dead.

 

I want to die while you love me

Oh, who would care to live

Till love has nothing more to ask

And nothing more to give?

 

I want to die while you love me

And never, never see

The glory of this perfect day

Grow dim or cease to be!

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!
