1341

If you said that you no longer loved me

That all that we had shared was gone for good

All memories wiped clean, all pain extinguished

A sterile gap where our love once stood,

How could I endure such mere existence

Alone, deserted, every hope denied, 

Every plan discarded, every action

Futile, as every moment died.

Yet I know that this can never happen

Your love endures despite what I might do

Your love outlasts the upsets and the tantrums

Your love is always there to see me through

And I will love each heart-beat I am given

For everything I know of love - is you.
