I can't believe you're mine and I get to keep you

Kamikaze tears leap from my eyes
Drawn by the gravity of your face
Your hot chubby hand
Fingers curled around my thumb
"I love you. Don't leave me"
Whispered into uncomprehending ears
I watch the rise and fall of your chest
You are the centre of my world.

With every breath I know
I want you to mourn my death one day
I want you to outlive me
I kiss you
I can't believe you're mine and I get to keep you.
