i will love you

as long as you want me to
love you and longer still
i will stand by your side
for eternity if you will

see the longing i have for you
as i look deep in your eyes
i feel a spiritual connection
once born that never dies

i liked this a lot .
If i may suggest something, the first stanza is written in enjambment, but i don't think it was your intention.
I think just my opinion that it might sound better like this:

"as long
as you want me to love you.
longer stilli will I stand
by your side for eternity,

if you will

see the longing i have for you
as i look deep in your eyes
i feel a spiritual connection
once born that never dies"

The "if you wil" now works for the ending of the first stanza and the beginning of the second stanza.

I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty to rearrange your poem, I didn't want to change a word because they are good ones.

the poem very nicely depicts the essence of true unconditional love..you may give a thought to the suggestion made by Eddie about linking the two stanzas..
