My lover may not look like much to another, 

But will be the only one I see. 

My lover will know I shall not stray. 

My lover will be with me even when apart, 

Never have to worry, not a single day. 

My lover will know I do not wander, 

And even when I must go, with her I’d rather stay. 

But my lover will not be tied by a rope to a cage, 

And will be free to pursue her dreams, 

To have fun with friends while I wait for her return, 

Loyalty and trust everything that it means. 

My lover and I will enjoy the quiet times, 

And the energy of being out in equal measure, 

A movie at home, a show, a party, 

Together is what will fire the pleasure. 

We will not need to have interests identical, 

Knowing we are each our own to be, 

But we will not confuse shared interests with others 

For any deeper connection, killing loyalty. 

As one, my lover and I will still be two, 

Only bound by heart and steel in honesty, 

To lose the other a slow suffocation, 

Irreplaceable in this life or the next, 

And my lover and I will keep each other sated, 

And never let disagreement break us, even vexed. 

For my lover and I will not just be tied by soul, 

But by a meeting of the minds only we understand, 

Transcending nonsense drama and trivial tolls, 

And if I cannot find that lover, 

Then I want none at all.
