I Vow Unto You

I fell in love with your name, the sound, the meaning and the feeling that it gave to me,
the promise it held and the dreams it carried, I vow to always remember to love your name.

I fell in love with the person, the man, the hidden face kept secret from me for those
first few months, the Idea of you, I vow to always remember to love my fantasy of you.

I fell in love with the author, the creator of words that put stars in my eyes and taught
me the beauty of a love smile, I vow to always remember to love your creativity and your
self expressions.

I fell in love with your courage, bravery and strength, your vision and belief. I Vow
always to remember to love being cradled in those qualities, for I also vow to love for
you for making me feel safe.

I fell in love simply, naturally and completely, I fell in love deeply, sincerely and
truthfully, you are proud, dignified and true, I vow always to remember to love you this way. 

I fell in love with my Knight, his sword protects me, his honour empowers me, enchanted
and bewitched I vow always to be virtuous and await my Knight's return.

I fell in love with your life, your blood and your body, I Vow always to remember my life
exists only to be complimented by your's, my body I dedicate to please and pleasure
eternally your's.

I fell in love with you because I was meant to, destined and designed, for the fates
allowed no other heart to dare beat in time to mine, my heart was already hearing your
rhythm, my soul escaping in secret to liaise and conspire with your's, my mind closed to
the attempts of mortals to reach inside of me, a feeling of waiting, yet content to do so.

Wherever, whenever, however, I Vow to you that as long as I live you will never have cause
to question this love, you will never know the despair of a broken heart, nor the hurt of
betrayal. I Vow to you that from the beginning till the very end my love will retain it's
purity.

I Vow to you this day eternity, let the rest of the world search and destroy beauty, 
fidelity, and virtue, let us to remember to believe and live by this love, maintaining
it's beauty, fidelity and virtue.

My hand I give to place in yours, I am not blinded by love's precious gift, I know the
path will be long, that our journey will take many a twist and turn and that your maiden
will long sing her lonely love song, but I am secure within this love.
