Definitely not done.


I promise to always lay in the crook of your arm whenever I go to sleep. I promise to always, always, always run my fingers through your hair, rub your head, and massage your muscles. I promise to make you feel relaxed because you work so hard in life. I promise to make you home-cooked meals whenever it is I figure out how to cook. I promise to put you first; so long as I am not jeopardizing my Self. I promise to say "I love you" way too many times in one day. Scratch that, there's no such thing as saying "I love you" way too many times in one day. I promise to tell you how handsome you are even though you all ready know you were made by the hands of God. I promise to never get sick of hearing you call me "Pretty, Gorgeous" like it's the name I was born with. I promise to sit through your action-packed movies with you but I can't promise I will lie and say I enjoyed them. I promise to kiss you; on your forehead, on your nose, on your lips, on your neck, on the way to Maine and all the way back. I don't care where or when; I just promise to kiss you there and then. I promise to read you only the best quotes from the books I'm reading while you sit and kick the ass out of the video game you are playing. I promise to write poems, prose, short stories, essays, story-books about the love I've found with you. I promise to leave blank pages at the ends for all the memories we've yet to have. I promise to honor you. I promise to respect you. I promise to compromise; unless you're seriously wrong about something ;). I promise to tickle you even though you hate it. I promise to be sorry about tickling you but the sound of your laughter and the power I have over you in that moment is monumental. I promise to be blown away by the man that you are on a daily basis.

I promise to continuously be inspired by you
and the love that we wake up to.
I promise to be true.

I promise, me, if you promise, you.
