My first inclination is to say:

In éineacht leat go deo: With you (as in "along with you") forever.

If you actually mean "all the time," though, the translation will be different.

Redwolf's looks good to me. If you mean "all the time", how about

beidh mé i gcónaí leat ~ I will always be with you
I am just a learner, be sure to get input from others

My only concern with this is that "leat" by itself like this can mean "yours." That may fit in beautifully with what's wanted, but I figured I should bring it up.

No. "Beidh mé leat" means only "I'll be with you" . The copula is necessary to denote ownership afaik.

Both suggestions look fine to me.
Warning: Reasonable command of Irish - but I still make basic errors.

i think the copula is necessary for ownership too, and I was taught to use leatsa in favour of leat when saying something belonged to someone. Just my €0.02

I'd shorten it and take license...leat go deo

That doesn't mean anything.
