I wonder if the fountain misses the mouth,
I question if wind misses the rock it eroded,
If time misses the life it cut,
And if the sky remembers my scent.

All absurd, all bizarre—
And yet the verses haunt me, near and far.
If my love is seen as a chore,
Then there is no point in asking for more.

I challenge thy god and its unstoppable force,
For I have seen love travel and reverse time's course.
I’ve seen the power of the universe and the chains of culture—
I will love you today, in the past, and in the future.

I drowned in your eyes
Before I could teach you how to swim.
I left heaven
Before I could teach you how to ride a bike.

God knows I need you,
Like He needs the Devil.
But time will pass,
And the dust will settle.

I’m grateful I got to love you
Even the pain is worth it after diving into your soul.
Because our love is unique, eternal, and true.
And if you so decide, I will return... just as I once vowed.
