well, a literal translation would be:

semper vestrum

If you want a good example of something more elaborate, the following is
from Carmine Burana:

ama me fideliter!
fidem meam noto:
de corde totaliter
et ex mente tota
sum presentialiter
absens in remota.

love me faithfully!
see how i am faithful:
with all my heart
and all my soul
i am with you
though i am far away.
