Sacrifice

Real love takes real sacrifice 
What you have has to suffice 
When you put your one first
You see them at their best and their worst
Above anyone and all else
Even if your own heart and desires melt
When you realise your sole purpose
Is to be of help and service
With the one you want to spend everyday with
In life and laid next to in death
I would take a bullet for them
Realising they are your diamond gem
Everything you have only one thing in pursuit
Never seconding guessing or dispute 
Self sacrificing your own mental health
Time is more important than wealth
Physical health on the back burner
Always available to listen to her
There is only one chance at living
Being with one person is winning
Trusting and caring for your soulmate
It takes two to be great
