I am going to love you
in ways that may have been done
hundreds of times before
but fuck
if I won't do it fiercely
like the fire
you exist as
I will love you passionately
like the way you speak
I will love you softly
like the way you wake up
underneath the sun
I will love you sweetly
like one last cup of ice cream
that was frozen in time
I will love you
in ways only I know how
I will love you
and the way your eyes soften
when you don't think
anyone is looking
the way you smile
when you make someone laugh
I will love
every laugh
and every smile
like they are the last
I will love you
again and again
for as long as I can
as long as you will let me
You are made from the stars,
kissed by the death of suns
So I will love you,
like everything is burning
and there is nowhere else
for it to go,
Yes,
I will love you
like the universe has come undone
and become all over again
Against every nerve
And every fear
When the trees have stopped being
but for the color of your eyes
washed under the moon
when the curves of the world
have fallen away
having forgotten themselves
along your lips
If you ever forget
just what you are made of
I will remind you
that there is stardust
swimming in your veins
That there are planets
inside of your eyes
Galaxies have existed
simply because you do,
The universe exists
simply because you do
So I will lov eyou.
For as lpong as there is time
for as long as you would like.
