Forever.
Forever and a day.
That's what I'll always say.
Don't worry I won't change it, no way, no how because
I haven't then, why would I now?
But I must ask you, and you alone,
because I'm inviting you in and I'm letting myself go,
to call one another
to each, our own.
So let me ask, I know I shouldn't, are you right?
Am I the one you want to be with, for forever and a day?
To hold and to cherish, to do just as we say?
Because Forever is a while, believe me, I'm sweating (ugh),
because I want to know, just on what are we betting?
Is this a gamble, because we're so naive?
That one day it'll boil over, and one of us will just...leave?
You said to me once, "Why are you so committed, you and your ****** loyalty."
"Quite frankly my dear," I said with a pause, "Because I don't want you to ever be lonely."
So think a while about our small promise to each other, when we were young and free.
Will you, and are you, ready to spend forever...
with me?
Traditional Marriage
What it should be at any rate.
