Dear you.
We fell in love on the playground when we were children. Do you remember? You held my hand as we went down the tall slide that I had been too afraid to go down on my own. I was still scared, but you seemed to make everything better.
We held hands on the first day of school and every day after that. We were joined at the hip, best friends forever.
I stayed by your side through the years. With you I stayed up late. I was there when the first boy asked you out, and I was there when he broke your heart. And even as I heard your tears fall over the phone, I fell more in love with you.
With every glance, I fell more in love with my best friend. The smiling girl I had known since grade school. The girl who I drove home even when she called me crying and drunk at two am. My best friend.
I vow to cherish you as I have every day I have known you.
I vow to be by your side as your best friend, as your lover, as your protector, and as your wife for the rest of our days.
I vow to be loyal and true, only to you.
I vow to give you my heart and soul and all that comes with it.
I have loved you for a thousand years, I can't wait to love you for the rest of my life.
