Hi Rosalisa,
I'll love you till you stop loving me.
Hence:
If you stop loving me I'll cease to love you .
Does that help? |

Thank you, Pamela...It does help...
But can it mean " though you don't love, I will love you." ? _________________ If you want to change the world, be one of the change. |

I doubt it, Rosalisa. As long as is not the same as 'though' or 'although' I guess this interpretation also works( but has another meaning):
Inasmuch as you love me, I'll love you.
Depends on the context. :wink: |

Hi Rosalisa,
Your sentence:
| Quote: |
| As long as you love me, I will love you. |
Putting it quite unemotionally it could mean that the two 'loves' continue contemporaneously. Another view is that 'I will love you' is conditional on 'you love me'.
