Trust...

Ever found her incessant whining infuriating?

Perhaps a mannerism or two that gets under your skin?

Or did she just put on weight that you find disgusting?

Surely even all of the above can't be considered a sin,

I know I'm not one to talk,

But it's not always about fancy gifts or flowers.

Maybe when you're first dating and trying to prove you can walk the walk.

Otherwise, it's not the material things she wants but the meaningful hours.

It's the knowing that in your heart

There's a space for her when all else falls.

That you'll keep her safe and warm and offer her a tart,

And that you'll be behind all her calls.

Really though, it might just be me,

But I do love my lady with all my life.

Sure, we sometimes fight, but she does see

That someday, we will be man and wife.

It's not because of her body

Or because she has a well to do family.

Nor is it because of her beauty

Or the fact that she kisses me readily.

No! It's because of how easily it is to be myself around her,

How she accepts me for who I am and my past,

It's how she catches my every tear,

And that is why, dear, I plan to make it last.

What I see in you is not a blinding of lust,

No. I see in your eyes a future that says "happiness is a must".

So say goodbye to a past of dust and rust

For it is with our love that we'll forge a future of trust...
