I want to spend
the rest of my life
building on the closeness
we've found together.
I want us to keep our love alive
by continuing to appreciate
those qualities that attracted
us to each other
in the beginning.
I want us to feel
totally comfortable
with each other,
at ease enough to talk about
our deepest thoughts and feelings,
our fears and goals,
disappointments and joys.
I want us to open up each other
in ways we've never known before.
All I want is to keep growing
in love together...
to discover new things
we can enjoy about each other,
to find new ways to express
our affection
and to remember
that love never outgrows
the need for the sweet touch
of romance.
And I want to keep
the wonderful feeling
that comes from knowing
I can always count on you
to be there for me,
no matter what I need--
a funny story to cheer me up,
and understanding heart
to remind me someone cares,
a hand to hold,
a hug that stays with me
long after we let go.
All I want
is to grow old with you...
to watch our life unfold,
our dreams one by one come true,
to know that een though
neither of us is perfect,
we're perfect for each other.
