I told myself I would live forever
Imagined death and scoffed
They told me life is fragile
But I brushed their warnings off.

I knew that death could not claim me
He was simply an old person’s fable
But were he to approach me in the night,
I would be Cain and he would be Abel.

I told myself I would never die
Death would never claim a soul this free
But then I met you and sure enough
My heart quit beating and he came for me.
