I Can Love You Forever

“I don’t believe in love”
He said
“There’s just this
Sycophantic idea with forever
And that somehow our passion
Could last exactly that long”

I think about you
And I almost believe him
But I know
I can love you forever

I am too good at bear hugs
And am fully flexible
When it comes to Kama Sutra napping
I can hold you in slumber
From any angle

I know there are days
Where I fall so far apart
The slow drag of my soul
Along the ground
Pieces me back together a little dirty

I am a little dirty
Especially when it comes to my mouth
I say things sometimes
That surprise the disgusting

I hope you like dirty talk

And I hope you can be patient
Forever is a long time to love somebody

I mean
Centuries from now
After my soul has doubled back
On it’s dirty self
So many times I come back as just a flower
I will still try and smell nice for you

And I will try and stay alive in
Whatever pot you drown me in
For as long as I can

I mean
I can’t live forever
But as long as I do
I am fully capable
Of loving you

Lemme know if the format is a little off. I am trying to use stanzas more than just the line for line thing I was doing before.
