I love you to tomorrow and back

I love you to tomorrow and back.

It's funny to think that there can be a love can't be proved, no matter what we do.
It is out beyond the goodbye kisses or the heartfelt smile-framed words we offer.
It is out beyond the quiet side-by-side moments when the sun slows to let you watch it melt along the horizon.
It is out beyond the perfect gift, the deepest embrace, the most tender kiss, as we seek to pass on wordless world-sized emotions carefully packaged in a single touch.
But this world cannot contain a love not from it, not made for it, not seen in it.
Even trading one's life for another cannot encompass a love that is deeper than life, stronger than death.
For the human body is not powerful enough to portray something as big as oceans-- oceans whose mountain-filled liquid skins have sparkles that hold their own galaxies in their blinding depths.
How can such a love ever be proved in a world that cannot hold it?
How can time ever tell of something far greater than times greatest imaginings?
How can love that has been given the very breath of heaven and can walk the fires of hell and not be burned-- how can such a love ever be painted in a single lifetime?

I love you to tomorrow and back;
With this breath and the next.
I love you with all that I know, and all that I never will know.
I love you with a heart that knows its own weaknesses but refuses to surrender to itself.
I love you with all of the tears that I couldn't cry.
I love you with more than I can feel.
I love you with a love that is bigger, stronger, faster, fuller, and more pure than I can ever be.
I love you more than you or I or anyone will ever know.
I love you farther than I can run and higher than I can see.
I love you past all that I wish that I wasn't.
I love you longer than I can live, and nearer than I can feel.
I love you to tomorrow and back;
With this breath and the next.
