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 the way you are....

I fell in love with you

for the qualitities an abilities,

and the outlook on life that you have,

and I wont try to reshape you 

in a different  image. 

I will always respect you

as a person with your own interets, desires, and needs

and to realize  that those are sometimes different...

but no less important than my own.

I will always share 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 windows of my personal world,

into my innermost fears and feelings

secrets and dreams.....

I will 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 times 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. 

I love you Dutch! I hope this shows a sliver of how much love I have for you!!
