Because I love you

I promise to give you everything that I am

The entirety of my heart

And my very soul

Because I love you

I promise to stand by your side throughout every storm that comes our way

And should you be frightened of anything

I will be there to hold you

And I will be your rock

Because I love you

I promise to grab ahold of every word you say 

To keep it dear to my heart

As if your words themselves were art

As if you would never speak again

Because I love you,

I promise to endure all the pain in the world

Because a lifetime of sorrow

And all of the world’s weight upon my shoulders

Is all worth facing if it means that I will end up with you

Because I love you

I promise to encourage you in the brightest and most fulfilling moments of your life

And at your darkest and most dreadful

Because I love you

I promise to take care of you

As if you were the most delicate flower

As if you could break at any given moment

Because I love you

I will be loyal until the end

For nothing can prepare me for the privilege of being yours

Because I love you

I ask that you never give up on us

And yet I know wholeheartedly that you won’t
