You

If you must wait,
Wait for them here in my arms as I shake
If you must weep,
Do it right here in my arms as I sleep
If you must mourn my love,
Mourn with the moon and the stars up above

If you must mourn,
Don't do it alone

If you must leave,
Leave as though fire burns under your feet
If you must speak,
Speak every word as though it were unique
If you must die sweetheart,
Die knowing your life was my life's best part

If you must die,
Remember your life

You are, you are

If you must fight,
Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night
If you must work,
Work to leave some part of you on this earth
If you must live darling one,
Just live

-Keaton Henson, my favorite folk songwriter
