- I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday.
- I will love you if you cut your hair and I will love you if you cut the hair of others.
- I will love you as the starfish loves a coral reef and as kudzu loves trees, even if the oceans turn to sawdust and the trees fall in the forest without anyone around to hear them.
- I will love you as a thief loves a gallery and as a crow loves a murder, as a cloud loves bats and as a range loves braes.
- I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong.
- I will love you as a dagger loves a certain person’s back
- I will love you as a drawer loves a secret compartment, and as a secret compartment loves a secret
- I will love you until all such compartments are discovered and opened, and until all the secrets have gone gasping into the world.
- I will love you until all the codes and hearts have been broken and until every anagram and egg has been unscrambled.
- I will love you until every fire is extinguished and until every home is rebuilt
- I will love you as we grow older, which has just happened, and has happened again, and happened several days ago, continuously, and then several years before that, and will continue to happen as the spinning hands of every clock and the flipping pages of every calendar mark the passage of time
- I will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where once we were so close that we could slip the curved straw, and the long, slender spoon, between our lips and fingers respectively
- I will love you until the chances of us running into one another slip from skim to zero, and until your face is fogged by distant memory, and your memory faced by distant fog, and your fog memorized by a distant face, and your distance distanced by the memorized memory of a foggy fog.
- I will love you no matter where you go and who you see, no matter where you avoid and who you don’t see, and no matter who sees you avoiding where you go
- I will love you no matter what happens to you, and no matter how I discover what happens to you, and no matter what happens to me as I discover this, and no matter how I am discovered after what happens to me happens to me as I am discovering this
