Choices

i

With every heartbeat and subtle smile,

with every lingering kiss and chastened touch,

with every knowing glance and soft embrace,

know that I will love you.

ii

Though times bring change to you and I,

though bodies grow frail and weak and such,

though the mirror creaks to betray our face,

know that I love you.

iii

Love begins with passion, ablaze our hearts,

love grows through knowledge, we understand.

love survives through fire, the trials we share,

know that I have loved you.

iv

When you are weak, I will choose you.

When enraged you misspeak, I will choose you.

When you cut and mock, still, will I choose you.

Know: how I love you.

v

And when our marathon concludes,

and when, hand in hand we face arid dunes

or storm-tossed seas that, with one voice we defy,

know now; that I have always loved you.
