You asked me once to marry you
I said I cannot say "I do"
When asked what may the reasons be
I simply said "I must be free."
Free to do the things I must
Before my heart, with you, I trust
Free to grow up by myself
Before I grow with someone else.
A child still in many eyes
I need to sever all the ties
That cast a shadow over me
So on my own two feet, I'll be.
Not til I can hold my own
Will I agree to make a home
As wife to you, the man I love

So I hope this promise is enough.

I promise one day we will wed

And stay together til we're dead

And in our last, and final breaths

My life complete, I'll face my death.
