From my heart

I shall not promise you forever

because forever is too short a time for our love.

So I shall but promise to love you

each day and for every year to come.

I shall not expect of you to be always

gentle and loving.

I shall not demand that you love me all the time,

There shall always be forks on the road of life

and I shall not expect of you to choose a road.

If you will find yourself in love with

someone you think is far worthy than me,

I shall be forgiving you,

and be grateful that once you loved me.

But please do not allow your thoughts to linger

such things

for I shall strive with all the power within me

 to be as loving and understanding and kind

as you expect me to be.

Please do not expect too much of me,

for I may not give you roses everyday,

but with every flower that I give

goes all the love I could offer.

Let you thoughts dwell on happy times we’ve

spent together,

and let these thoughts grow upon your mind.

Let not your thoughts dwell on separations;

not for a second for such poison works

quickly with the mind.

I shall not be mad if you forget our anniversaries,

for people are but liable to forget.

But please forgive me if within me I am hurt a little,

for I am liable to pain, too.

That, you must not forget.

I shall not be too easy on you as you are not too easy on me;

but on the other hand, I will not be too hard,

for I shall not be proper.

I shall not give too much of myself

for too much is too little,

and too little seldom satisfies.

But you should not give too much of yourself, too.

You must permit me to fight you sometimes,

if only to let off steam.

Then our making up shall not be too hard,

and we shall love each other more.

I shall not hinder you from expressing opinions of me,

but I shall allow you to say them at anytime or in any way you please.

I, too, shall render you with such opinions,

but seeing all the time I do not cause hurt.

I promise to share with you my life,

for if you would but promise the same.

My sorrows and my failures shall be yours to share,

to ensure you do not fall into the same traps

from which I fell.

But my happiness and joys and my success

shall be part of you too,

It is right to share such things with the one I love, just you.

All my dreams and aspirations shall be yours to share,

and each new dawn we come upon shall be our discovery.

We shall live each day as one better than the last

and there seldom will be dull moments in our lives,

our life together.

I shall wake up each morning and look forward to the joy of being with you.

And each minute shall be happy in the knowledge

that there is a place for us in this world.
