the pledge

i hope the day never comes when we are too old to hold hands.

i wish that the kids will bring us together instead of apart.

i dont want the dollar to control us.

i never want us to be too tired to make love after work.

i hope the words "I love you" never become routine.

i still want to miss you when im away from you.

i still want you to miss me when you're away from me.

i hope we never grow to old to go to the movies on a Saturday night alone.

i hope there will never come a day when i look into your eyes and see who i should be for you.

i dont want the passion to die out.

i dont want this flame to burn out.

i dont want us to grow too old to kiss in public.

i want you to have my last name.

i want you to be the mother of my kids.

i want your hands in mine until the end of our time.

before i ask you to be my wife

i offer you this pledge

that i will never grow too old or bitter to tell you that i love you.

and i do.
