And when the last suitor leaves,
When he rejects you for another,
I will be by your side.
And when the last gnarled tooth crumbles
In your smile, your sweet, gorgeous smile,
I will be by your side.
Though time may be the thief of lovely flesh,
It cannot erase my mind, or my heart.
The passage of hours, of weeks, of years
Will not cool my burning love.
And when I can no longer hold your hand tightly for the pain,
When breathing becomes too cumbersome a task,
I will stay by your side.
And when the last gray hair falls out,
I will recall its former gold, and stay by your side.
And when the light at last fades from your beautiful blue eyes,
I will still be by your side.

This just took my breath away!! To have a man feel that way about me and be able to express it. You are awesome!!!I am sure she is realizing just what she lost. Also, thanks for the applauds on "Games", Blessings, Leslie -

very good
Can someone love someone that much? It is a rare thing, so rare that books and poetry (as in this one) sing of it. Very good. -
I'll stay by your side!
Damn.. this really struck me. Have you stopped writing like this because I haven't read anything like this from you before.. Wow I'm truly impressed. I don't know why, your verbing is not that unique but this felt like it was just true from your heart.
Ouch, Gio... Great write!

very good
What a beautiful poem. Having spent the last few hours with a friend at the hospital it is hard to see the beauty they once held while illness takes their last few breaths.
Very well written. Love and beauty as seen through the eyes of a poet.
thanks,

I really liked the poem.

Man, she must really have a hypothetical hold on the character in the poem. I don't know how dedicated he would really be if she didn't have teeth, but hey, it make for interesting phrases of admiration. It would be great to pass enough time with someone to watch their body deterioate but a poem about it is probably the only way any of us will come anywhere close to the reality. Nice poem, i'm sure it would persuade a woman to go out on a date:)

I really liked this... My favourite part would have to be...
"The passage of hours, of weeks, of years
Will not cool my burning love.

I will stay by your side."
I really liked this part. Well done. Thanks for sharing this
