Writing In Sand and Stone

Writing "I love you" in the sand suggests that love is meant to fade;
That it can be washed away by life's periodic tides.
I suggest we write our love in stone, always carving it deeper.

Numerous things have been written about writing romantic things in the sand, to see them washed away. I thought an opposite approach would be interesting.
