In a relationship,
There there are rules unwritten,
Unspoken and often ignored,

Because love hides
In nooks and crannys,
And all the little corners

All the little details matter,
More than the big thing sometimes,
Because love is in the places you forget to check.

My promises to you,
I will look to the corners,
And all the nooks and crannys.


The last one is always yours.

I will wake up a half hour earlier than you to make sure your tea is the perfect temperature.

You will always shower first.

Even when I am low, when it feels like luck is not coming my way, I will still love you.

I will always make time for you.

I will always ask what you'd like to eat first, because everything tastes good when it's shared with you.

I will never stop dating you.

Even if we are married and growing old, I will never stop trying to win your heart over.


No matter what happens,
I promise to keep my love consistent,
because loving you is easy
and loving you is something
I want to do for the rest of my life.

Because love is hidden in the details,
And I promise not to miss them.
Thank you for giving me purpose.
