Vows

Again, away from the darkness as we drink,

There are thoughts relived in the songs my mother sings

And I believe; in all the shades of you I see

The stars in the sky tonight exist for thee.

In the forever and beyond

As I stare into her eyes

I realise they are my reason to be

And also my demise.

In all the answers I sought;

There were memories of you I bought.

Throughout the distance and the longing she stayed in my thoughts.

And no matter how much I tell

And the thoughts of her I dwell

It is always our stories that I sell

In packages of her smiles, and the scent of her hair.

No matter where you go, I am always there.

And the majestic fairy lights, will shine oh-so-bright

But be nothing compared to the love in our eyes.

And when we exchange those wedding vows

And move beyond the ifs and doubts,

I will always be your knight in shining armour

Yours: powerful and proud.

Now and forever.
