Silent Prayer

I hope I can love you for the longest time.

Despite sounding dangerously close to that infamous line from Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987), I like to repeat this line to myself in times of solitude.  A silent prayer, if you will.

It's not that I am afraid of falling out of love with you...
Or that I am expecting something bad would happen...

It's a hopeful wish that I would want to do for the rest of our lives together.
Disregarding semantics of sentimental love for the time being, I'm very thankful though we have great chemistry together and I love the commitment we have for each other. We are approaching yet another chapter in our lives and frankly, I'd like to spend the rest of it with the best of it. By best I mean you hehe.

You make everything better. You embody the ideas of love and romance I've always yearned for.
I am yours and you are mine to keep. I have so much faith and trust in you and in us it's doing a balancing act between noble and foolhardy. and (no surprise) it's trudging along nicely. Sure, we've had our fights. We will have some more even and yet,
I wouldn't have it any other way. I believe in the love that we have. We may suffer at times but let me tell you one thing, I am very satisfied with my life. I have something to live for. To look forward to.
