I’ll always love you, even when this Earth has passed away and the Sun have forgotten its place in the skies. Further when the tides have made the land its own and the wind stops blowing. I’ll always long to be with you, whether it be in this world or the next, in this time or before, right here this present or be it in my dreams. When I lay my head I hope only to see you, see us- how we were before- before I found some sense of self, before you realized it was better without me. But be it with me or without- I hope only for your success, but oh how I wish I’ll be there to see your smile, to melt in your embrace, to be at awe of the words you speak- both crude and gentle- to just be with you- right there and forever more.
