happily ever after

to love is to live

happily ever after
Photo by Kazuo ota on Unsplash

when my time is up,

kiss me gently on the forehead

but save your tears

and thoughtful farewells

for when I burn,

stand back

because my ashes will rise

with memory

and take on your shape

as they dance

for you were always the best parts of me -

I was made of your magic,

alchemized by your love -

so for my last trick,

I have decided

we will live on,

an impenetrable memory,

forever, immortal, beloved,

dancing through dimensions

haunted in love,

most happily ever after
