there are few times i’ve felt as at peace
as when we stay up late talking side by side in the black of night
i will never take those moments for granted, nor the gift i’m afforded in being by your side
these are not just promises, but privileges we’re granted
i choose you to be my partner in this life
to live in truth with you and communicate fully and fearlessly
i promise to be your partner in parenthood, in travel, in weeknight dinners
and above all else, i will always be a true and loyal friend to you
