If I ever cease to exist,
Give all of me to another.
Let me live through another man.
Just don't give my heart and eyes.
For my heart knows only to love her,
And eyes dread to see her.
I worry not of the ears
As they shall be buried away with me,
And not hear anyone else's voice.
I worry not of the mouth,
As they shall fall quiet,
And never mutter another word less her name.
And I worry not of the skin
As they shall rot away,
And not feel another touch not her's.
But I do repeat again to you.
Let my heart and eyes be mine only.
Let her be the last thing my heart beats for.
Let her be the last thing I see.
