Question: Will my love for Micke last forever?
Yes, your love will last forever, and due to this love both you and Micke will live forever. It will be like one of those Greek myths, except everything turns out really nice, and you don't have to divert rivers to clean poop out of stables.
Yes, you will be truly happy. Sure, immortality means seeing your friends and children perish in the implacable grip of time, but you will remain joyous and carefree. As you witness the terrible, repetitive patterns of human history, the stink and death left in the wake of pestilence and famine, the useless, wasteful wars, and the distended, fly covered bellies of the starving on a planet of such great abundance, you two will blithely skip alongside ponds full of croaking frogs on lilly pads.
Some of your greatest, most loving moments will occur as the world crumbles around you. As global hotting triggers storms, the tectonic plates will pull apart causing terrible earthquakes and eruptions of hot volcanic death. As civilization crumbles and man turns against man in a final spasm of savage butchery, you and Micke will happily walk down paths amidst the wilting wildflowers of your once proud and temperate homeland. You will gaze at each other with a depth, understanding and caring that can only be gained by spending a hundred years in love, even as the unbearably hot steam released by great fissures in the earth slowly melts your eyes. As the world implodes, carrying everyone else screaming into the endless abyss, your two souls will carry on, ever-together, representing true love forever more. Wow ... sniff. How totally beautiful love is.
