smile together; profoundly admiring the glory of the
stupendously brilliant Sun,

As long as we play; I promise you that we will both
play together; poking each other innocuously in the
tender ribs,

As long as we eat; I promise you that we will both eat
meals together; masticating a basket replete with
succulent cherries with gay abandon and unprecedented
relish,

As long as we rest; I promise you that we will both
rest together; entwining our arms invincibly and stare
unrelentingly at the pearly island of Moon,

As long as we run; I promise you that we will both run
together; exuberantly galloping through the verdant
countryside; voraciously exploring and discovering the
unfathomably colossal Natural life,

As long as we punch; I promise you that we will both
punch together; caressing silken draughts of air with
tons of vibrant energy; exhilarating in the aisles of
uncanny excitement,

As long as we write; I promise you that we will both
write together; flooding page after page with the
essence of whatever we had sagaciously imbibed and
gathered on the trajectory of this planet,

As long as we sing; I promise you that we will both
sing together; permeating the gloomy ambience; with
the enthrallingly buoyant cadence in our voice,
As long as we dance; I promise you that we will both
dance together; violently gyrating our bodies in
ecstatic jubilation to the hidden tunes that lingered
in the air,

As long as we study; I promise you that we will both
study together; memorize cumbersome stanzas; solve
mind boggling enigmas of routine life; with our minds
focused single focusedly to achieve our sole mission,

As long as we cry; I promise you that we will both cry
together; mutually sharing the unsurpassable agony
that uncouthly besieged our souls,

As long as we scream; I promise you that we will both
scream together; inundating the perennially still
ambience with the stringent roar that fulminated in
our throats,

As long as we teach; I promise you that we will both
teach together; unequivocally propagating the religion
of humanity in whomsoever we encountered in the tenure
of our lives,

As long as we yawn; I promise you that we will both
yawn together; lazily languish in the realms of
surreal fantasy till the first rays of ethereal dawn
furtively crept up from the sky,

As long as we lick; I promise you that we will both
lick together; greedily slurping sparkling streams of
water from the boundlessly deep well,

As long as we climb; I promise you that we will both
climb together; assiduously clamber up the treacherous
slopes with our bodies leaning stunningly close to
each other; and the resplendent festoon of stars
maneuvering us towards the incomprehensibly towering
summits,

As long as we dream; I promise you that we will both
dream together; fantasize the most bizarre possible of
things ever perceived on this planet; philander every
second into a garden overwhelmed with poignantly
scented roses,

As long as we joke; I promise you that we will both
joke together; erupting into a volley of tangy
laughter which voluptuously struck the air,

As long as we breathe; I promise you that we will both
breathe together; inhale blissful wind; incessantly
deluging our lungs with all the fresh breath that we
could salvage from the atmosphere,

And as long as we take birth on this soil; I promise
you that we will both take birth together; continue to
exist as immortal lovers not only in this birth; but
for many more births together…
