I stand at the edge of forever
And I find I am not afraid
Though my choice will be everlasting
I know that I carry your love with me
And it buffers the fear of the unknown
Perhaps I cannot be with you
But I will always have your love
And if, indeed, we must spend eternity apart from each
other
The fault will be mine, not yours
Though it is my fervent hope to share eternal paradise
with you
If I should fall short of that
It will not be for lack of effort on your part
It will be because of my own shortcomings
Your love has been exquisite
And I only hope that, in the end
I prove worthy of it
