I don't want a perfect love story. I don't want prince charming, or his sweet satire eyes. I don't want to wake up every single morning to breakfast in bed and a dozen roses in your hand. I don't want to have a movie-like, fairy tale.
No, I just want you to walk with me.
I want you to stand by my side when I graduate college. I want you to be there when I start my new job and I feel as lost as ever in a new career field. I want you to look at me like I'm the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, when it's 4 A.M. and I'm tossing and turning relentlessly.
I want you to hold my hand when I'm sitting in the car next to you, with the windows down, while a cold brisk breeze takes over the air of the open night sky. I want breathless moments, getting lost in your symphony of pure happiness. I want to say "I do," forever and always, and then some. I'll never take my ring off!
I want to scream our favorite song at the top of our lungs while we unpack boxes together in our new home!- Even if it's a tiny one bedroom apartment!
I want to get you sticky and dirty with paint when I chase you around with a brush in my hand distracting myself from the long hours I've been trying to put the perfect colors on our walls.
I want to make moments with you that I'll never have with anyone else.
I want to go to the grocery store at 11 o'clock at night because we're too bored to just sit at home on a Friday night. I want to go on random runs with you at 5 A.M. when you're awake instead of dreaming. I want to make you breakfast even if it means getting over my fear and germ phobia of touching gross raw meat!
I want to roll over in the middle of the night and hear your heart beating out of your chest.
I want to go on camping trips and see the beautiful world that God created, together. And find ourselves laughing until the sun goes down.
I want to see every part of you, of who you are, and who you're going to become!
I want to see you get that promotion at work one day, and stand by your side as you bathe in all your excitement and successful hard work.
I want to have children that bare your name, and carry my deep blue eyes and your rich beautiful hair.
I want to watch our family grow up and grow together.
I want to travel and go on adventures with you, and discover another world, another life we never imagined could be possible.
But most of all, I want to love living this life with you. All the way through, until death do us part.
Because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day. At the end of our careers, when we;re growing older ad reach our retirement. When our kids are grown and our grand children are becoming adults. When our bills are paid and our finances are set in stone. And we've lived a long, youthful life, together. At the end of it all, I want to be with you, only you. I want to look at my left hand and see a symbol of 65 years in love, & counting.
Of all the tings we'll both grow tired of, I will never grow tired of you.
I want to live, breathe, die, and walk my life journey with you.
So darling, please take my hand now, I'm ready for you to walk with me.
