...I must see you again — die in your arms or live in your embrace.

Interpretation
The line is cast as an urgent, melodramatic vow of reunion: the speaker frames the next meeting as existentially decisive—either a final, fatal consummation (“die in your arms”) or a sustaining salvation (“live in your embrace”). The paired verbs (die/live) and mirrored images (arms/embrace) heighten the sense that love is not merely emotional but life-defining, collapsing the distance between romance and mortality. The ellipsis suggests the quote is excerpted from a longer, highly charged declaration—likely in a letter, poem, or dramatic dialogue—where separation has become intolerable and reunion is imagined as the only possible resolution.
