I WILL

I WILL

I will hold you in my arms until the oceans turn red.

I will hold your hand until the dinosaurs are no longer dead.

I will kiss your lips until dogs no longer chase cars.

I will kiss you all over until old fat men stop smoking cigars.

I will touch your face until there is no human race.

I will touch your soul until Perry Mason loses a case.

I will taste your passion until elephants forget.

I will taste your sweetness until the sun never sets.

I will keep your beauty where I can see until there is no honey from the bees.

I will keep your smiling face in my mind until the forest has no trees.

I will caress your thoughts until there is no crime.

I will caress your dreams until the end of time.

I will miss your big beautiful eyes until there are no stars in the sky.

I will miss how you make me feel until small children stop asking why.

I will need your hugs until babies don't cry.

I will need your kisses until birds don't fly.

I will smell your essence wherever I go until the Arctic has no snow.

I will smell the fragrance that is you until farmers have nothing to sow.

I will feel the warmth of your body until cowboys don't sing songs that make you shed a tear.

I will feel you lying next to me until you can walk through the night without any fear.

I will stay with you in my heart until yellow and blue don't make green.

I will stay with you through the dark and the light until the moon can never be seen.

I will love everything about you until one and one don't make two.

I will love this feeling you give me until life on earth is no longer true.

I will bleed in combat for you until evil is no more.

I will bleed the last drop of my soul until the angel is knocking at the door.

I will die a painful death just to give you an extra breath until a beginning has no end.

I will die for eternity just to give you one more sight until man has no more sin.
