O ur Love Can Last Forever
If We Both Want It To

I want to have a lasting relationship with you
I know that this will mean that we both must
work hard to please each other to help each
other to be fair and honest with each other
to accept each other as we really are.

We both must work hard to keep our
individuality yet also become one with each
other to remain strong and supportive of
each other in adverse times as well as in
good times to be exciting and interesting
to ourselves and to each other.

We both must work hard to always consider
each other the most important person in the
world to always consider love the most
important emotion that we can feel to always
consider our relationship the most serious and
significant union of two people

Even though it may not always be easy to
have a lasting relationship working hard is
very easy when the results can be the beauty
of a loving and lasting us.
I love you
