Eternally

Eternally,
not fleeting, nor momentary,
that is how much I need you.

Forever,
not for a second, nor for a day,
that is how long I will want you.

As the butterfly flutters,
from flower to flower,
to nourish itself.
I will not stray from the rose that is you.
And when you can no longer feed me,
my touch will never leave your touch

I will stay,
and sadly, surely, I will die,
yet I will never abandon you,
when it is you that has become my life,
and my life has nothing but you.

Perpetual,
as folklore is passed from generation to generation,
memories of you are all that I will ever remember.
My spirit will seek you in the world after this,
for death is but a moment,
and the pain will be brief.

I will love you eternally
