How Long Will You Love Me

How long will you love me
                        She constantly would ask
                        He'd laugh it off
                        or roll his eyes
                        She was always wondering things like that

                        How long will you love me
                        she asked him one starry night
                        He pushed back her hair from her face
                        and commented on her eyes

                        They walked along
                        past the woods
                        even right by the place they'd met
                        She couldn't understand why
                        he hadn't answered her yet

                        How long will you love me
                        She quietly sighed as she slept
                        He stood so still
                        by her bedside
                        and hands in face he wept

                        Her death was growing closer
                        he could not say goodbye
                        He had to tell her something
                        and he began to try...

                        I will love you for Eternity
                        I will love your soul, your heart
                        I will love you in the darkest times
                        I will love you near or far

                        She turned to him
                        but couldn't speak
                        to ask of him once more
                        He closed the blinds
                        tucked the blanket around her
                        and slowly shut the door

                        As he saw her spirit leave
                        he leaned in to give her a kiss
                        I will love you he whispered
                        my darling, only for as long...

                        as anything exists
