My Promise of Love to You

I promise to accept you
the way you are,
and I won't try to reshape you
in a different image.

I promise to respect you
as a person with your own
interest, desires, and needs,
and to realize that those are
sometimes different,
but no less important,
than my own.

I promise to grow along with you...
to be willing to change
in order to keep our relationship
alive and exciting.

And finally,
I promise to love you
in good times and in bad,
with all I have to give
and all I feel inside...
completely and forever.
