I know that you are not perfect and nor can I claim to be either,
but please believe me, when I say that I want to be by your side,
to hold your hand, to treasure you in the morning and in the noon-tide,
to be next to you, to be held close to your heart now and for the rest of my living years,
to comfort you, dry your tears and calm your most frightening fears,
to fight your battles and show no shame to scream my love for you out loud all over the land.
