Bending Light

I want to bend my light, so that you're able to see
             The essence you illuminated, that was inside of me
                 I never imagined, you'd be with me still
                      A moment
                         A fragrance
               
                             I'll love you until

                                Until the oceans evaporate
                                  The stars fall from the sky
                                    Until the laws of gravity break
                                      I'll always be your guy
                                       You make it easy to love you
                                         I don't even have to try
                                          You are God's perfect gift
                                           My parched soul's no longer dry


                                              I want to bend my light, so that you're able to see
                                               Nothing is impossible, love does set us free
                                                I never imagined, my heart peaceful and still
                                               A smile
                                              A caress

                                           I'll love you until
            
                                    Until twenty before never
                                several minutes beyond eternity
                            You are more than just perfection
                        You're the only women for me
                      All that I have ever wished for
                    I am now able to see
                  Not a single thing is missing
                You've filled a life that felt empty

             Knowing light can bend
           I'll bend it around heart
         It was always meant for you
         I knew it from the start
           Dance with me my darling
              feel the pulse within my hand
                  I am yours now and forever 
                       can you feel the light expand.......?

I read this beauty on Facebook. You really know how to infuse your love for your sweetie in your words. It's palpable. Wonderful write.

I remember seeing this shape on Facebook but never ended up reading it. Not only was this very creative, but a beautiful expression of love. The concept of bending light and connecting it with your passion was engaging for me ... I bet this was a joy, not only to come up with the words, but to create that beautiful shape ... loved this one!

You are correct, it basically means there will never be a time when I will not love her.

The only thing I slipped up on was "until twenty before never" ...? Is it a play on words with something everyday you would say like, "Until twenty before eight o'clock", but with 'never' as the replacement?
