My Wife

I am taking a risk,
With every step I take.
I am exposing my heart,
With each decision I make.

I left behind the comfort,
Of what I once knew.
Let down my guard,
For the chance to be with you.

When I was consumed by your eyes,
I knew you’d take the gray out of my skies.
You played hard to get,
With words I can’t forget.

As we took the chance,
We began steps to romance.
With every step we take, 
More memories we make.

You stumble and fall,
And it’s me you call.
Just know that I’ll be there,
To love you through it all.

We started making future plans,
Joining our hands,
I am yours and you are mine,
Our hearts combine.

I pledge to honor you, love you, and cherish you,
As my wife today and everyday. 

Our wedding ring reminds us
Of vows made hand in hand.
Promise and commitment 
Are symbols of each band.

What exactly is the reason for your comment? You’re one of those people who are against gays right?
