I'll love you.

I'll love you even when you're in the arms of another.
I'll love you when I've given up on myself and life
Because you are all I have.
All of this shit is just an accident of my birth
But you changed that.

All that's come before could be swapped, more or less,
Without having any effect.
Meeting you was no accident.
I'll love you when the whips crack at my flesh
And the dogs feast on my marrow.

I'll love you when tongues are twisted and faces contorted.
I'll love you even when the heavens drip acid.
I regret nothing.
If love is the meaning of life
That's meaning enough.

It seems nothing has a purpose,
For there are potential purposes innumerous.
No 'man' is right.
We are all feeble, trying to gain succour through rationalisation.
But some things can't be rationalised.

So in this pitiful universe, you are all I have.
I love you.
I fear you.
I care for you.
I could never replace you.

If the world were to end tomorrow,
I'd pray that my love for you would bring it back.
In death I want to roam these shores with you for ever.
In life I want to roam these shores with you.
I'm a pitiful scrap of a person
But you make me feel like something invaluable.

You make me feel like I'm worth something.
Things have no intrinsic worth, per se;
Only worth in the eyes of people.
And that another person can see worth in me
Gives my life perspective.

I'll love you 'til my heart deems my life no longer purposeful;
'Til the Earth calls me back home.
I'll love you even when every last person has died and the universe is Reduced to an infintesimal blinking beacon.
I'll love you, no matter what happens.
