I won’t be here much longer, but this love always will be,
lasting longer than life itself.
Not my doing. I would have it die with me than to long after
it for an eternity, to cling to it, to hold it against my chest, to bring me comfort
in my after life the way Egyptian Pharaohs did, when I know like all such wealth,
I cannot take it with me, and it will linger in this world as an aspect of the
person who inspired it, and still does, and always will.
My love will remain, will make me long after it long after I
am gone, longing through eternity as I long for it in life. I cannot slay it
even if I wanted to, and even when my body ceases to crave it the way my body
does now, I will crave it still in other was, whether I am in the company of angels
or from that other, less temperate place. I will always love to love, an
uncompromised eternal love outlasting everything else.
