I was yours before you knew: and you have always been mine too.

When we met, I had my heart guarded from years of it being worn on my sleeve. I was scared to let anyone in unless they were meant to last in my life. Upon meeting you I was smitten by your thoughts on life, and the person you succeed at being. I knew that you were the one and I had found the woman I had set out to find. We have grown together and learned what love is really meant to be. I love you Jake

Two truths reside within my soul, As constant as the Earth's slow roll. The moon above, in silver grace, Forever seeks the sun's embrace. And just as true as burning fire, My heart for you will never tire. Like the heavens, calm and deep, Where worried thoughts can fall asleep. My inner storms, a raging sea, Are calmed by your tranquility. You hold me close, and understand, Even the freedom I demand. You love me through my restless fears, And dry away my unshed tears. With you beside, I'm strong and true, And every day, I rise anew. So let us walk, hand clasped in hand, Across life's shifting, golden sand. My love, my life, my future bright, I long to spend my days and night. To silver hair and wrinkled skin, A journey we must both begin. Our story waits, a canvas vast, And I will never be the last. To say I love you, fierce and bold, The future ours, a tale untold. So let us on an August day, Gather beneath the sky's array. Friends and family by our side, There I'll stand your glowing bride. I cannot wait to say, "I do," and start with you our lives anew.
