This is How I Love You

If our world blows up today,
The last thing you will see
Is me, standing in front of you,
Shielding you from debris
And if the bullets come for us,
I'll suffer them alone
For this is how I love you, mine,
My brightest star,
My own.

If they take you far from me
I'll follow, day and night
Until I have you back again,
I'll never cease to fight
And if they come in numbers,
I will hold them back from you
For this is how I love you, mine,
My life,
My tried-and-true.

If death comes upon us,
I will screen it from your eyes
And shelter you, protect you,
With my power to disguise
Depravity will rise up;
I will hurl it back again
For this is how I love you, mine,
My one,
My wisest friend.

And if they take my life for yours
I'll count it a fair trade
I lived for you; I'll die for you
I will not be afraid
Their hate can never touch you,
Though its fire blazes wild
For this is how I love you, mine,
My dear,
My hope,
My child.
