These are Vows

I will love you unashamedly whole
Through stale breaths of the morning
Through every maze you make
And dust you drag in
I will bend my back and clean up after.

Through salty sweats and sultry stares
I will stand your belch
And the additional goods you bring.
Without a manual to put me through
I will not try to change you.

I will say your name in a thousand breathes
Gaze at you like a new world wonder
I will be there when you need me to be
Wherever you need me to be
I will learn to be me, be us and be we.

I will love your flaws and go with the flow
I will love you home and away
I will smother you with care
And love you more everyday.
