Can I keep this moment forever?

Can I revisit this now forever?

Can I have us forever?

Can we be together forever?

Not just this life; this life is too small

to live a thousand lifetimes' worth of love.

I seem to be counting my lucky stars,

what fortune allowed me to have at least one thing,

that I can call mine- you.

Sure, we have had, and will always have our moments of

disagreement, anger, greed, jealousy,

disappointments, grief, uncertainty, and sadness.

But don't you think that this resilient, patient bond we've nurtured over the years,

this firm, unbreakable bond that is a testament to true strength;

sturdy and steady, trustworthy even amidst the most

terrible of terrifying dark storms, far outweighs all

those storms we've endured?

Those moments might have made me doubt myself, insecure,

even hate myself, but never you. Not even once.

This love is more than just simple textbook love; it is

unflinching belief. In times of utter, bleak darkness,

you're who I turn to, to have my back;

You're my faith, my happily-ever-after, mine.

I love you.
