A promise

Remember tonight. For it is the beginning of always. A Promise, like an award for persisting through life all alone. The belief in each other & the possibility of love. A decision to ignore or simply rise above the pain of the past. A covenant which at once binds two souls & severe prior ties. A celebration with the chance taken, and the challenge that lies ahead. With two will always be stronger than one, like a team risen up against the tempest of the world. And love will always be the guiding force in our lives. For tonight is a mere formality, only an announcement of feelings long held, promises made long ago in the sacred space of our hearts.
