As Far As I Can Go

My commitment to you was boundless
But that still was not far enough
My love for you was intense and exposed without adulteration
Perfection escapes me
      but where would we be with such an order
My love would be untrained for the person I intend to spend the rest of my days with
Not- withstanding my flaws, virtuosity still defines me as a woman
And my search for the essential man will not end until our partnership is complete
I will embrace him with adoration and affection, the way he will me
I will adopt his imperfections the way he does mine
     Love and a life forever will be the end-result
Our quality as a team will glare for the world to see
   And it will be only then that I will have went as far as I can go
