"Can we do something for each other?
Sort of a pact....
I feel like I don't have to say this
Since we are how we are but....
I look at relationships in a different light.
More meaningful, more energetic,
More open, more direct, more vulnerable
Than any "relationship" I've ever previously experienced
Or have seen others experience.
When I said I'd be your girlfriend,
It may as well meant wife as well
Because that's how I am
And thats what you will receive.
Too often you see people miserable,
Argue, possess, slander, abuse etc.
I don't want any of that with you.
So can we agree
To never keep thoughts or feelings from one another,
Good or bad....
Never speak to each other
Out of our name,
Never low blow,
Never raise our voice,
Humans will always disagree
But I plan to fully handle myself and emotions
With Tact, Self Control, Discipline, Respect
And Grace.
I will always support growth and understanding
And I promise to give you my best.
I believe we are both very capable of all of this. 
And it will keep us both happy and healthy."




....... close to a year ago and I still remember reading these words for the first time.
