wedding vows

there are a few
things
we need to get straight before
we go any
further, Ok?

be honest.
be true.
be loyal and faithful.
be compassionate
and giving.
forsake
all others.

listen, listen, listen.

be in love,
not half in
half out.
be authentic.
your true self.
it's actions, not
words that truly count.

understand and forgive,
be a friend,
a lover, be the other
person's light.

i'll do the same for you.

and one other thing,
Never go to sleep
Angry or without
and embrace, or a kiss
goodnight.
