Soon

I vow to help you love life

To always hold you with tenderness

To have the patience that love demands

To speak when words are needed

To share the silence when they are not

To agree to disagree on the red velvet cake

And to live within the warmth of your heart

And always call it home

I vow to fiercely love you

In all your forms, now and forever

I promise to never forget that

This is a once-in-a-lifetime love

And to always know in the deepest part of my soul

That no matter what challenges might carry us apart

That we will always find the way back to each other
