I'd much rather be the one to die

than for someone I love to perish

and for me to live on;

though not due to anything about myself

and not because I'm selfless or kind and giving,

simply because I would be more shattered by their death than my own.

I can't bring myself to regret that I feel so,

because the rush of caring for one so is worth it.

I say this because I honestly care about them more than myself

and I haven't found that to be the norm.
