Avowal
Abbot Henry, today, I take you, as my lifelong companion, as every day, asleep or awake, I dream of you all the same. I found home, in your smile. I love you with a love that shall not die, till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old. God only knew my heart needed you, in my weariest of times. I would not wish any companion, but you. I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you, I love you not only for what, you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me, I love you for the part of me, that you bring out. Hand in hand, you and me, Today, tomorrow and forever. For if I am anything, I am yours. I swallow a lump forming in my throat, as I look up at him, he smiles his ever-so-charming smile The smile I have seen since I was so young, fragile, and childish. It's the smile I have grown to love now, ever-so-secretly I cherish it every day. He seems lost for a few seconds, but then he begins. I, Abbot Henry, take you, Fra
