I Love You

I love you
I love you in the way the moon loves the tides
In the way the sun cares for the stars
In the way the forests love fungi

Time moves forward
Things change, people grow
I will see you less
Going different paths
I will love you

I will age
Time marches on endlessly
I will still love you
In the way fish love the ocean
In the way bees love flowers
In the way cats love sunbeams

I will grow old and die
the world will age with me, as will you
Even after everything
When the world is nothing but mushrooms and rubble
I will still love you
