I hope I say “I do” when I truly mean it.

I hope the words come out not out of pressure, but out of love or yearning.

At my convenience, as my boss would put it.

I hope the sound of I do does not scare my heart into a frenzy.

I hope I stay right beside the gentleman who chooses to enchant these words.

I hope to shiver a little less when my lips tremble a little more in replying to the words:

“Do you take… Jesus as your Lord and personal saviour?”

I hope I allow myself the propensity of exploring all possibilities surrounding this journey of hearts alike.

I hope – I really hope.

I fight not the alternative outcomes you may wish to envision.

I hope I sign off from the singles clan and identify as a duo as soon as I understand what ignition this is.

So I pledge to leave… ermm — but can I not leave completely?

Can we still hang out?
I mean — never mind.

I hope you’ll be patient with the heart that yearns to know you.

I hope you are soaked in patience and aligned with her kind of love — fairy tales, and the language she communes in.

She may not be entirely aware of her stubbornness, nor her indecision.

Hey! her heart can be scary and bumpy.

She is at war with beginnings and endings.

Envisioning rationally does not come as easily to her as it might for others.

I hope you mean those vows as you pour into her
trust, loyalty, confidence, assurance, hope – forever.

I hope your love lives a thousand years, as you are yet to embrace the art of thinking beyond the doors of her mind.

I hope you are moved by the way she moves.

I hope you are tickled by the way she talks.

I hope her melodious voice satisfies your need to be sung to.

I hope her voice silences the rest — unheard.

I hope your strokes epitomize the symbol of love between hearts
kinky thoughts staying right above heads, unalarmed.

I hope she falls deeply in love with you,

Where solitude becomes a thousand years away from her mind.

So I was once asked,
“When do you find yourself taking a man home?”

And I answered,

“When love finds me, and I am in the right capacity as a woman and mother to enlighten a home.”

Take all the time you need, love
take it all.
