I would still love you then. 

When the inked sky 
fades into the stars
because we stared at them
too long,

when the pages of our beloved books
turn brown 
from age and borrowing hands,

when the trees grow taller
and their leaves 
fall off

            like decembers 
            spent in 
            may. 

I would still love you then,

but not the way I did before.
Sometimes endings are beginnings. Sometimes we love who we could.
