Certainty

Of these things
I am sure my dear,
so these things
I can promise:

When I love,
I love fully,
my love untiring
with an unshakeable faith.

When I love,
I accept completely,
knowing the flaws, challenges and weaknesses
will only strengthen our bond.

When I love,
I trust absolutely,
living with a vulnerability
both terrifying and freeing.

When I love,
I defend it fiercely,
striving to protect my beloved
from all hurt and harm.

When I love,
my hand's grip is sure and strong
and does not weaken
no matter the storm.

When I love,
my beloved need never doubt
that love, for it shines
through all I say and all I do.

For when I love,
it is with all I am,
all I possess,
and all I will ever be.
