Will you still love me when my face is weary?
Will you still love me when I am not merry?
Will you still love me when there is no more intimacy?
Will you still love me when my head is filled with all fallacy?
Will you still love me with the skulled holed dimple on my face?
Will you still love me when I can’t keep up the pace?
Will you still love me when you can count my ribs?
Will you still love me when I can’t feel your hips?
Will you still love me when we can’t perform the do-se-do?
Will you still love me when my mouth battles to say I love you?
Will you still love me when I have slow motion chews?
Will you still love me when tomorrow might bring bad news?
Will you still love me when we can’t go to the park?
Will you still love me even when I have made my last mark?
Will you still love me when I can’t whisper alluring words to your ear?
Will you still love me when my eyes can’t shed a joyful tear?
