Do not cry; you have not lost me.
Don’t bathe your face in useless regret.
I am leaving for a short time,
But we are eternal. Dost thou forget?

Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh,
We are one, Siamese, and beating
With one shared heart. Your pains are mine;
Everything you suffer is repeating

Like an echo to my mind. We
Bear these burdens together. Our strength
Is united faith in what we
Know will extend well beyond time’s length,

As we measure it by this earth.
It is foolish to believe that we
Can only be together and
In love here, ignoring eternity.

If silly to think our love ends
With the commencement exercises
Of death, then sillier ’tis to
Think love fades when distance ostracizes

Two as united as we are.
We are not until death doth us part,
But time and all eternity.
Love has no end nor start.

So, maintain the dignity of
The promises and vows we have made.
If I should venture many years
Or miles away, then do not be afraid.

The law of conservation of
Love states that love can’t be created
Or destroyed, it can only be
Converted into a more elated

Form, which form you’ve proven to be.
You’re all that matters in life to me.
It doesn’t seem like heaven could be
Heaven, unless I had you endlessly.

Our love’s not ruled by gravity,
For distance does not diminish our
Pull. Indeed, if at opposite
Poles, our attraction’d but grow in power.

Though I were trapped where no sound could
Carry the vibrations, “I love you,”
Surely our love could still travel,
For it needs no medium to pass through,

And having found each other safely,
It would deliver its message, for
Love can travel through space and time
To find a warm greeting at our soul’s door.

Within a crucible we’re sealed,
Where we are able to melt into
Each other, becoming a much
Stronger alloy than ere this pas-de-deux

Of devotion we danced and thus
Ceased to solitary strangers be.
We’re insep’rable. We are held
Together by the bonds that make us free.
