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.
