Wedding Vows

 Tommy,

Take my hand and trust in me, give us a chance and see, that life is so much more, then we ever dreamed it could someday be. 

Take a leap of faith with me, give love and light a chance. Close your eyes, baby, take my hand and let's make this leap again.

This time, when we reach the bottom, we won't wake up alone and in that moment we will see, that with love and faith, together we can go places we have only ever dreamed.

In a place of death and darkness past, I found a love I knew would last.

A love so deep our souls entwined, a bond so strong it withstood the test of time.

Both of us where born to fight and  carry that burning spark of life, not in spite of, but because, we grew up in streets so dark there was no wrong or right. 

Hurt, pain, anger, and lust, a life of struggle, hate, resentment and mistrust. 

We wore the chains of legacy, not knowing we had a voice. We walked the streets of those before not realizing we had a choice.

I was the shadow girl who always stayed apart, filled with darkness and a deeply damaged heart.

You where the boy, filled with noise, so cocky and so sure. You had the most, amazing, eyes, that always held a scheme, it was more then just a little strange that they ever happened to see me.

You always had this one track mind, forever trying to turn pennies and nickels into dimes. Always searching for something you didn't know you'd find.

One bright, fate filled day, I saw you walking down the street and the second that you SAW me, it took my breath away.

I looked deep into your eyes, and saw something you tried to hide, the brightest light and mind, and a beautiful heart buried deep,, down inside.

A look, a smile, a young girlish blush, a note, a feeling, a heady rush.

A kiss, a smile, and holding hands, I can still feel the subtle breeze, and gritty texture of the warm hot sand.

The laughter ringing through the dark, the willow tree and empty park.

Trust in yourself and trust in me, trust in what that incredible feeling that we both felt that night, below the bows, of we the willow tree. 

A sigh, a blush and teenage lust, you asked me for something more then you knew you would. I will never forget that moment you reached out your hand you asked for my heart, my faith and my trust. 

Days turned to nights and nights into days. Both of us slowly changed and opened up in so many different ways.

We formed a love, so deep and strong, our heart beats became one.

With every word, kiss and touch we found a feeling we had never known, we had found happiness we had found our home.

I know it's been 27 years since that life changing night, but I feel for you today what I felt for you then.

Tommy this I vow to you my love. 

From now until forever or until forever ends I will love you through whatever the world throws at us, through whatever challenge, this life sends. 

My love for you will always shine brighter then the sun, the moon or the stars. Tommy, I want you to know that I will love you faithfully, not in spite of, but because of all your scars.
