Special Occasion
By Mark Tulin

I know it’s true love
because you’re here with me
during my last breath.
You’re the only one I want
to share in this special occasion.

It doesn’t bother me
that you remember
how I looked
when I was younger,
or how weak and frail
I am now.

With you, I’m not scared
or vulnerable
but feel safe to let go.
You allow me to leave
on my terms
without remorse
or expiration’s fear.
