(ego) amabo te usque ad finem temporis, mi amice.


Explanation:
There is also "ego amabo te semper" which means "I will always love you", if you prefer a shorter version. "Mi amice" is male, the female form would be "mea amica".

Maybe "te amabo" would be more elegant (although it's hard to find a native speaker to find out! :-). A similar question came up some years ago, cf. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_latin/other/160769-i_wi...

Explanation:
In my opinion, it's better in latin or "more latin" (latinius) "in saeculum" than "ad finis temporis" or "ad finem mundi".
