I PROMISE TO...

look you in the eyes and tell you the truth,
never look in a tempting direction,
keep my eyes on Christ first and foremost.
hold your hand, always,
hold you when you need to be held,
fit perfectly in the nook, also known as, your shoulder,
kiss you sweetly,
compliment you,
encourage you,
speak words of courage and strength into you,
pray for wisdom and leadership for you,
be slow to get angry,
talk things out when they aren't easy,
not argue based on impulse,
not run from you,
support you, no matter what,
stand in your corner and defend you,
take your opinions into consideration,
listen to every word that rolls off your tongue,
not get sidetracked easily,
thank you,
go through life, next to you, not behind or in front of you,
get better at my cooking,
reassure you and affirm you,
care for you,
go on adventures with you,
travel with you,
never miss out on making a memory together,
dance with you, even though i am not the greatest,
give almost anything a chance,
not jump too far ahead,
be strong when you can't be,
be a shoulder you can cry and a hand you can hold,
only be a phone call away, no matter how many miles separate us,
pray for you without ceasing,
always be thankful for our blessings,
grow closer to Christ through our relationship,
love people together,
glorify Christ with you,
worship alongside you,
let go of my past,
heal,
drop my baggage at the door,
embrace you, consistently,
hold you accountable,
never make our relationship a one way street,
put forth every bit of effort that i have,
not pressure you,
take you as you are, despite your past,

most of all, be your best friend,
always be there for you,
and...

I promise to not waiver in my love for you.
