TO YOU,AND ONLY YOU

To live and love with you and be one forever. To be near you so I can reach out and touch you. To make love with you, laugh with you, cry with you, talk with you.

To find shelter in you when I am afraid and hold you close when i need warmth. To be with you through all the seasons walking with you in the sunshine and cuddling with you in the cold. To care for you when you are ill and be joyful when you are happy. To grow old with you and be with you until the end of time. With you and only you, I would do all these things. To you and only you… all my love.
