THE VOW

Now we are not alone

What has been is no more

Today is the seed

Tomorrow but its fruit.

Now we embrace the all

We’ve each claimed to love

Little nuances previously ignored

Becomes a part of the whole.

In words I’ve failed to convey

Exactly what it is I feel

I’ve accepted you until death

With love steeped in years.

Now I say I love you

And I hope that you understand.
