"In sickness and in health
For better or for worse
To love and to hold
Till death do us part"
Time runs faster than any train
Clocks loudly ticks,
The seasons shifts,
and memories compiled in each
𝗜 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂.
Uttering the oath of loving you
In a world of temporance,
I schemed to create a permanent forever
For me and you
Loving you means waking up together
To see each morning--sunshines or gloomy weather
To go on an extra mile for what you craved
To remember you in little trinklets I see on the way
Loving you means staying in storms
Not because we love the wet and cold
But because of the warmth we feel
Knowing we'd be sheltered by each other
Loving you means loving the idea of living
Even when the world is too cruel
It means way better than the bravery to kill,
But the courage to breathe, knowing I'll stay in a world with you in it
And loving you meant loving you still
Even if one of us are gone
I vow to stay, to remain, to always love
Even if we're already six feet apart
I'd still love to see mornings with you
I'd trim your grass and enjoy the cool winds that blew
We'd listen to the cemetery birds
I'd bring you flowers with my stories to be told
I'd still eat in front of your tombstone, or beside you
As an impossibly unlearned chore
I'll clean you, keep you tidy when you no longer can
I'll bring you your trinklets, you're still cuter than them
I will be here, day and night
I will be here, rain or shine
I will come to you in times of despair
You will see me, even on my happiest days
𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘥𝘢𝘺.
I will live because you loved me
Too much that I knew you wanted me to
I will live my life loving you
Honey, you were gone...but not entirely.
In a space--𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦
where both of us could meet
You and I will both feel safe
It's not a curse, like what people say,
It wasn't but a promise
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱. 𝗜 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗵. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝘄𝘀, 𝗜 𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱.
Not out of marital responsibility, but out of my eternal love for you.
𝘔𝘺 𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘷𝘰𝘸.
