Vows

Ashiyah Melyne Cays,

How can I explain how I feel about you?

I could tell you how sweet, or kind, or smart, or talented, or wonderful you are.

I could tell you how you raise me up when I'm down, or find me when I'm lost, or push me on when I'm tired.

I could tell you how nervous I was before our first date. And, indeed, how nervous I am right now.

I could tell you how incredible I felt after our first date. And, indeed, how incredible I feel now.

I could tell you how I won't get to ask my favorite annoying question anymore.

I could say all of those things and more.

But, I don't think those, or a thousand more stories, could express how I feel.

I promise that you will have all that I am, and all that I ever will be, for at least the next 400 years.

So, Ashiyah Melyne Cays: I love you.
