Oh my love,

I cannot promise you many things.

I cannot promise you that I will always be full of joy. I cannot promise you that I will always be secure in myself. I cannot promise you that I will always be fit and attractive and youthful. I cannot promise you that I will always be able to help you in whatever you are going through. I cannot promise you that I will always be able to talk about what is going on inside me, because sometimes there aren’t words to describe the shades of darkness that can creep into a man’s heart.

I cannot promise you many things, but this is what I can promise you-

I promise that I will always try to make you laugh, every single day. I promise that I will always try to love myself so that I can love you even more. I promise that, even when I get fat and old, my eyes will always be the same shade of green that you fell in love with when we were both young and beautiful. I promise that, no matter what you are going through, I will always be there to hold you as long as you need me to. And I promise that, no matter what is going on inside me, I will always love you. No matter how dark and damaged I become from life’s battles, I will always love you with every piece of this battered, broken heart.
