I Will Always

I will always promise to give you

the best of myself....and to ask you

no more than you can give

I will always accept you as you are....

I fell in love with you

for the qualities, abilities,

and the outlook on life that you have,

and I won't try to reshape you

in a different image.

I will always respect you

as a person with your own

interest, desires, and needs,

and to realize that those are

sometimes different...

but no less important than my own.

I will always share with you...

my time, my close attention,

and to bring joy and strength

and imagination to our relationship.

I will always pledge to keep myself open to you...

to let you see through

the window of my personal world,

into my innermost fears and feelings,

secrets and dreams....

I willl always promise to grow along with you...

to be willing to face change

as we both change

in order to keep our relationship

alive and exciting.

I will always love you in good tmes and in bad,

with all I have to give

and with all I feel inside...

in the only way I know how,

COMPLETELY and FOREVER.
