Nothing is going to last forever
except this

Things will corrode and crack
and crumble
not this

Rain will sweep away
the shores and drown the sand
and the shape of things will change
but this won’t

The planet will get hotter
and maybe colder
and things will burn to cinders
or freeze solid and still
not affect this in the least

This is something bigger
than the both of us
or the wind and the earth
or the eternity between
the galaxies

And once we are fully
aware of this
nothing will keep us apart.
