When I make a decision to love you,
I choose to love ALL of you
The laughter, the bliss, the missteps
And I will not opt to back down when things get difficult
I hope you’ll be able to help me rise when I fall
In the same way I will extend my hand towards you when you need it most
I will not choose to see you through the lens of your worst day
And I hope that you will be there through mine
I hope we don’t lose sight of our rhythm
Or refuse to listen when our faults become worn like masks
In those moments, I hope we can reach that place beyond words and steer away from silence
I do not hope for the silence
I choose to believe in the love that I chose
The love that encapsulates ALL of you
The laughter, the bliss, and the missteps
