I Will Have

I will have loved you
from the first to last day of my existence.
I shall not waver from this love
if only through my persistence
in finding only the best of you
to always look upon.
And anything that's not the best
I will let be gone.

I will have loved you
from early morn to the silence of the night.
I shall not count the hours between
for too quickly they take flight.
And any loss of time with you
is an ache I'll always feel.
However, the promise I will make
is that not even death can steal
this love I have for you.
