I do
Dear,
Joy
I see love in the fake-ripped jeans you got me for Christmas
You knew I hated fake rips, but we're the same size
I see love in the chocolate that I hide under the bed
I can't have you stealing any unless its Valentines Day
I see love in the small notebook you keep in the pocket of your cargo jeans
You don't know, but I look at the song lyrics every Sunday morning (it's like church for an atheist)
I see love in the necklace you got me on our two year anniversary
It was the day I freed you from the prison you called home
I see love in the ring I gave you, that's on your finger, right now
I asked you, standing up. You said you wouldn't say yes unless I got down on one knee
I see love now, looking in your eyes
Reading my vows to you
I see love in our future
I do
Love,
Lily
