that is when i'll finally stopor maybe death, my love defies

when every leaf on earth has wilted,
when all the seas and oceans dry
and my bones are naught but ashesbut even in oblivion, love shall persist;
in the vast nothingness of space
the stars will remember and speak of us,
as a constellation in the evernight
our love will be etched in the universe
