If you were in Cairo, and I in Kampala;
if you took to Phoenix, and I to Havana;
if you sojourned in Saigon, and I in Phnom Penh;
even that short distance would deeply offend.
And seeing as how I\u2019d want to stay close to you
I\u2019d find every which way to stay in touch with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you moved to Tuvalu, to live or to work,
And the internet stalled and the phones didn\u2019t work.
I\u2019d train clever pigeons to soar up above,
to faithfully reach you with my missives of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d vouchsafe a letter with a monk in a monastery.
I\u2019d entrust my love note to an Amazon missionary.
I\u2019d hire a Sherpa to mountain climb after you.
on Everest, on Lhotse, Kangchengjunga or K2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would do anything to keep myself close to you
I\u2019d learn Swahili, Hindi, or even Urdu.
No hurdle of language I\u2019d have to confront,
could ever deter my untiring want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can travel as far and as long as you like
by plane, train, or boat, by car or by bike.
I\u2019d find a way, some way, to reach out to you
I\u2019d even use snail mail if I absolutely had to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you flew supersonically out into the blue, No matter the trouble I\u2019d have surely incurred, If not-talking was something that you took a vow for, I\u2019d follow you through darkness. Have I made my point clear. You have nothing to fear So great is my love, I am indefatigable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d radio the pilot to tell you I love you.
If you pined for space travel and lived in the shuttle,
and our back and forth was a quite public muddle,
and officials below and your crewmates above
had all grown quite tired of such
raging, unending, fulsome, embarrassing<\/em> love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d carry on calling, could not be deterred by
pleading from NASA, complaints or protests,
they\u2019d have to come get me, put me under arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d read to you, sing to you, whatever you\u2019d need me to.
I\u2019d learn to lip read and learn to sign too.
There\u2019s really no end to what I would do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d follow you through rain,
my daily attention might drive you insane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m resourceful enough to keep loving you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to you, love, I can\u2019t stop loving you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
