I.
I would have loved you
I would have loved you
for the rest of my time.
I would have never left.

II. The reward of love
This thing destroyed me
beyond all repair; there are no
words for it; there is
nothing
left to become; there is only
a wound-down regime of fewer
and fewer returns. This
is the reward for loving
fully, unaccountably, beyond
all repair: this is the reward
of love

III. I have loved you
if your heart should ever — slowly, astonished — turn
from sheltering slumber, leaves unbundling
from turned-away rain, and find the world made new:
then know
that I have loved you.
