The Promise To Love You Forever Poem by RIC BASTASA

if i cease living
or loving

i promise you
i do not sit lazily watching the fading of the sun

i will take this journey
to the last edge of the horizon

searching for love and life and meaning
and purpose

and then when i living and loving ceases upon me
seizes me into silence and nothingness

or when death embraces me so tightly

i shall still take that last breath

exhaling

still what you are really to me
