I will love you As long as my lungs fill with air To motivate my beating heart To stir lifeblood through each part Pulsating, animating there. I will love you As long as each new idea Connects thought to tongue Connects my mind along Reasons for drawing you near. I will love you As long as the Earth will turn Always to gently spin Always a Day to begin With you, for your love I yearn. I will love you Until clouds are no more Or oceans evaporate, Or mountains disintegrate Into pebbles on the seashore. I will love you Until the constant Moon Makes no oceans ebb and flow Makes no continents shrink or grow, That day will be too soon. I will love you Until all the stars go out Never to give forth their light Never to enhance the night But blot our Eternity out…
