All of the moments before

Were a preparation for this promise

And I promise

The weight we carry together

Will always be more barable

You take my words

As they bind us

You listen as Gods breath instills

A key between us

That keeps our wills

Restrained

I have no desire to capture

Nor cage

Though will it be my detriment

That you are yourself

Separate from me

And the two of us

Will always be

Two

We will have rules that neither will ever voice

But we will know them

We will have boundaries

Neither will test

They will mean everything

And trust is the block we’ll forge

A structure

With all its cracks and remnants of the past

That will stand as a testament

To a promise

For as long as we last.
