Vows

Two years ago I celebrated in a Civil Union with my soulmate, my best friend, my world, my everything.  It’s crazy to think how fast time flies, the ups and the downs, highs and lows and changes all around.  I wanted to share my vows, because they say everything that I wanted to on my most special of days, and every day before and after.  To my lovely Husband, this is for you and I am forever yours.

 

Dear Ryan, my lover other half of my heart,

No-one else in this whole world will do,

These vows are forever, from the depth of my soul,

And say all that I want to, to you.

You saved me that moment, August thirteenth,

Two thousand and five was the day,

That we met online and started to chat,

When I figured out just what to say.

I had eight months to know you, truly so deep,

Our connection divided by sea,

But in those first moments I already knew,

You and I would one day become ‘we’.

Remember those times when we lived with my Mum,

In the place I grew up in the Lake?

My world became ours, my family too,

Not long after our own home we’d make.

We’ve had ups and had downs, but more often good

And I’ve said things I really don’t mean,

You’ve shaped who I am and helped me to grow,

Saw something in me no-one else had seen.

You know when I’m happy, and when I am blue,

For 8 years almost I’ve been smitten,

I’m a book that you know, front cover to back,

And chapters that are yet to be written.

On this day in front of our family and friends,

I will make you this promise, this vow,

To love you forever, be there when you need me,

No matter what, where, when or how.

I’ll honor this promise in the time that will pass,

Minutes, hours days weeks and years,

I’ll be right by your side through the happiest of moments,

And I’ll be there to wipe all your tears.

You’re the love of my life, the person who which,

I can share all and hide things from never,

I’m the luckiest man on this whole wide world,

And I will be yours forever.

So dear Ryan, my lover other half of my heart,

There’s no-one else in this whole world but you,

These vows are forever from the depth of my soul,

I can’t wait to say I do.

Today sounds like…

One of the very first songs that I shared with Ryan while he was still living in America was the song ‘Be’ by Jessica Simpson.  Everything about it spoke to what I couldn’t wait to make true.  You can listen to ‘Be’ by clicking the image to the left.  I have copied the lyrics below.

“Be”

Way it’s gonna
Way it’s gonna

Lately I find I’m caught up in these thoughts
How will you come to me
How will we connect these hearts
Are you somewhere near
Hidden like a four-leaf clover
Are you miles away
Are we getting any closer
Are we getting any closer

I already see us moving mountains
I already see us walk in water
I already see the clouds we’re flying
Over and under
I can really see us having babies
Walking through the park and being lazy
I already see myself falling in love eternally
And I think that’s just the way it’s gonna be
And I think that’s just the way it’s gonna be

I already see us moving mountains
And I think that’s just the way it’s gonna be
I already see us walk in water
And I think that’s just the way it’s gonna be

Being with you
Is a like a scene from a dream in heaven
I feel you running through
All my senses
Will you taste like rain
Can I breathe you like air
Will I lose myself in your arms somewhere

I already see us moving mountains
I already see us walk in water
I already see the clouds we’re flying
Over and under
I can really see us having babies
Walking through the park and being lazy
I already see myself falling in love eternally
And I think that’s just the way it’s gonna be
I think that’s just the way it’s gonna be

And I know and I know and I know
Love can move a mountain
And I know and I know
It’s gonna be even better than I imagined
Putting all my trust in you
Putting all my trust in you
We’ll make this dream come true

I can really see us having babies
Walking through the park and being lazy
I already see myself falling in love eternally
And I think that’s just the way it’s gonna be
And I think that’s just the way it’s gonna be

I already see us moving mountains
The way it’s gonna be
I already see us walk in water
The way it’s gonna be
I can really see us having babies
The way it’s gonna be
I already see myself falling in love
Meant to be
I already see us moving mountains
The way it’s gonna be
I already see us walk in water
To me
The way it’s gonna be
I can really see us having babies
The way it’s gonna be
