Wedding Vows (Will you still love me) #poetrywednesdays#

Confession to the girl I still love PART 2


HER: When words can no longer describe what I feel,

When my character becomes bland,

And my youthfulness has withered like the dust in the sands of time,

Will I still find comfort in you,

Will I still find peace and solace,

And not feel hopeless,

Because you will be with me?

Guiding me to see,

To see all the great things before my very eyes,

And reminding me that I can spread my wings and soar into the skies,

Will you by my side always, to raise my head when it drops,

Especially on days that I can't cope?


Will you be there when my hair falls,

And my body has lost its natural curvy-ness,

Would you still love me?

Will you still see me as that girl that you used to stare at for seconds which sometimes turned to minutes before you could utter any words,

Will you still see me as the strong woman that held it together her for you when your mother died,

And you felt as though your world had been destroyed,

Would you still love me then?


Even if I told to you that one day I will grow big and swell up like a balloon when I become pregnant?

And my body will never be the same,

Would you still love me,or you would leave me because I would have lost what brought you to me in the first place.


The thing is I don't question your commitment to me,

But I would rather that you see,

See that I'm not an angel and there is no halo above my head,

And I'm human and I have fears,

So as I stand before the alter,

And I'm about to enter this union with you,

I have to know will you still love me?


HIM : I have loved you since the day I sent my eyes upon you,

You have been my muse for how to live a life,

You have been my rock when I needed I strength and support,

And you have been the ocean that has washed away my fears and sorrow,

And to answer your question I know that you are not an angel,

But I cannot find any other way to describe the beauty that lies in and outside of you,

I believe that you are a gift from God to me,

Just like my mother used to say,

Believe it or not, she knew that you were the one before I did,

So to answer your question yes I will still love you,

Even if you become bloated as a whale,

Or as small as a mouse,

I'm certain that I will still love you.


I will be your solace and I will be your peace,

I will be your pillar of strength and I will be your guide,

I will be whatever you need me to be,

Because from today on-wards there is no you or me but just we,

And I want the world to know that if love takes no prisoners except for our hearts,

Then I am a joyous prisoner and I will willingly and loving serve my life sentence,

To the best of my natural or supernatural abilities ,

And I will cherish every wrinkle that you get because it will be a testament to how much time will spend to together,

Side by side,heart to heart until death death do us part.


And I know that you will still love me even if my hair begins to fall,

Because I know that our love transcends physical appearance,

And it transcends all our little insecurities,

So even if you any doubts if I will be there,

Be rest assured that I will be there, with you,

Through the pregnancies and through the wrinkles,

Because together to the very end just like I promised you when I proposed,

So let those that may want to object ,object,

Because I know that no matter what, you are and always will be the love of my life,

Until the end of time,

And the rebirth of the universe.


Priest:Well all that can be said,

Has been said,

And as is God is my witness,

I see no reason to object to this union,

So by the power vested in me,

I pronounce you husband and wife,

You may now kiss the bride.
