I wrote this poem back in 2011. This was inspired by a book I was reading entitled: 'If I Should Die Before I Wake', by Andrea Dworkin.

The title made me think... 'What if, for whatever reason, I was in a coma, and I hadn't said what I wanted to say to the love of my life. What would I want my loved one to know?

These things should be said while we can, but do we really think about saying them on a daily basis?

I have revived this as the first chapter in my book entitled, 'What You Mean To Me'. I plan to write a poem or piece of prose to all the people who are, or have been, important to me throughout my life.

I revived this poem, instead of writing a new poem, as I think it totally says what I want to say to my husband... I don't think I could write another poem which will say it better...
