No, but there's a song by Tom Lehrer that expresses that noble sentiment. It
goes something like this:

		"I HOLD YOUR HAND IN MINE, DEAR"
			by Tom Lehrer

		I hold your hand in mine, dear;
		I press it to my lips;
		I take a healthy bite from
		Your dainty fingertips.

		The night you died, I cut if off,
		I really don't know why;
		For now each time I kiss it,
		I get bloodstains on my tie.

		I'm sorry now I killed you,
		For our love was something fine;
		Until they come to get me,
		I will hold you hand in mine.
