What would I do for love?

What would I do for love?
The question leaves me pondering. 
Anything!  I’ve said before,
With breathless heart and hopeful tone,
Just to be
With you. 
But faced with a demand for more
That unnerves and unbalances my idea
Of identity, of the basic core
That shouldn’t need to change,
My idealism hesitates,
Sputters to a stop,
And for a moment I don’t know what I would do
For love.
For love should embrace all of me.
If it won’t, if he won’t, is it even true?
Then my initial question seems to be
Moot.
