โ 122521 | yours, for a lifetime.
there are so many ways and in so many languages of the world that we may speak of the matters of the heart. sometimes, I'm laden with the arduous task of boiling such feelings down to a single word. an emotion, surely so easily described when stripped down to the singular thought? it's those times that I'm reminded I couldn't write my feelings for you with one word alone โ I couldn't do it with ten thousand.
last night, you asked me a single question. four words, it contained, and it was with those four words that you'd secured our future, and cemented the certainty I'd found in you since the day we allowed ourselves to fall in love.
I won't say that I knew I wanted to marry you the moment we met. I won't say that I even knew you'd still be in my life twelve years down the road.
I didn't know anything.
maybe I knew only that your presence was one of familiarity, or that the clasp of your hugs brought me a warmth I recognized because when I'm in them โ I'm home. I knew that your hand was, and would continue to be, the one I seek even on the darkest nights. I knew where solace could be sought no matter how gray the storms.
there are things that I am certain of when it comes to loving you. there are things I know: how much I want green meadows and pattering feet in our future, how fervently I want to know every sensation of being consumed the way only you know how. then there are the things I may never know โ how to pen sonnets and stanzas with the kind of elegance that would make even a monolith swoon, or how to paint such imagery with colour that rivals the twilight sky.
there are words I may never deem worthy of you; not one that can encompass all the promises I want to make to our twenty lifetimes.
but I think, perhaps, that sometimes there's a particular word that sounds better than all the rest โ
