I will still love her

Her skin could have been
a shade of purple
and she could have been
from another world
separated by the infinite space that is outer space
but still somehow and someway
I still would have found her
and still I would have loved her.

She could have weighed
a few extra pounds
and ate like there was no tomorrow
her favorite hobby could have been eating
and still I would have loved her

She could have been born
in another nation
spoke a different language
and ate different foods
but still i would have found her
and still I would have loved her

She could have been years older than me
or perhaps a few years younger
separated by our generational gap
with almost nothing in common
and still I would have loved her

She could have been abused by many men
become bitter and resentful
and locked her heart away in a tomb
but still I would have saved her
and still I would have loved her

It does not matter
the time,
the place,
the race,
the year,
the age,
nor the circumstances
none of that matters
because I believe
no, scratch that
I know that in the next life
I will find her
and yes I will still love her
