With My Last Breath
Posted by Brad Osborne on May 6, 2020 · 31 Comments
With my last breath
Let me taste of you
Your honeyed dew
Your sweet abiding kiss
With my last breath
Let me love you dear
And hold you near
All the things that I will miss
With my last breath
Let me say again
You’re my best friend
You’re what makes me whole
With my last breath
Let me touch your hair
And my love swear
To your beautiful, treasured soul
With my last breath
Let me see your face
Feel your embrace
The love forever true
With my last breath
Let me speak these words
Remembered when heard
“I’ll always be in love with you”

Much love to you sweet and talented Brad . I hope great things will come to you my dear friend. Love and hugs Joni
Oh wow! Brad, this is amazing. I cannot stop crying. This touched me very deeply. Wow! Just wow! This one is going to stay with me for a while. So, so beautiful! ❤🥰😘😭 Seriously, I’m sobbing. 😭😭😭
I didn’t think about it when I chose to post this, but with all you have going on in your life, I can see how this would be impactful. I can only hope that it holds as much hope as it does tears for you! I feel your pain and share your love! ❤💕🥰😘
It’s neither really hope nor fear. It helps with acceptance. Which is a good place to be. One of us is going to have to leave the other eventually. It’s inevitable. No one is ever prepared whether they know it’s coming or not, but I can take comfort in knowing that if he goes first, I’ll still carry his love. And I’ve saved this poem, so I can look back on it whenever I need that reminder. Thank you, my favorite poet. ❤🥰😘 It’s also comforting to know if he does go before me, I have friends like you who are going to see me through it. 🤗🤗 Sending you so many hugs!!
And you said, tears not fears. My eyes are still watery, but they are good tears. Not quite healing tears, but definitely warm, comforting, and feeling so full of love tears. ❤
sad, but beautiful…
well done, Brad!
Thanks, Jim!
Brad, this is so passionate. It is romantic. It is beautiful. You stole my heart.
