I cannot promise you that I’ll be perfect, because I am not, but I will always be here for you

mischievouswordsbymartaazra

I can’t promise you I’ll always be kind, especially when I’m upset. I can’t promise you I’ll stick to everything I say.

I can’t promise to listen to you, even when I know you’re right. I can’t promise you I’ll always be sweet and sensitive, but I’ll try.

I can’t promise you that I’ll always wash the dishes or fold my side of the bed. I can’t promise you that I’ll always want to tell you anything I can think of. I can’t promise you that I’ll always run to you first when I’m scared.

But I can promise you one thing; I will never stop loving you

I know I’m stubborn. I know there will surely be times when I withdraw from you because I am angry, cold, oversensitive, or just because I need a little time just for me.

I know I’m going to drive you crazy sometimes. I know I won’t always be able to say the right thing; I won’t always be able to be the woman I want to be. But please don’t doubt for a minute that I don’t even want to be, that I don’t want to be yours all the more, because I want to. And I will always want to.

I can’t promise you I’ll be perfect. Because I’m not.

I know that I will mess things up a hundred times and that I will hurt you even when I had the best intentions. I know that sometimes I will say one thing and do the totally different. Because I’m just a human.

I can’t promise you that I will be perfect, because I am not, but I can promise you that I will be:

A girl who never stops trying.

A woman who always keeps racing even though she never wins, one who tries to achieve the unattainable, one who loves and loves and loves even when the candle burns out because she knows that no matter what she will find a way to light it again.

I promise to be the girl who smiles at you, even when I’m depressed. I will be a woman trying to light up your life, even when it is dark.

I promise I will always be the one you can turn to. The one who will always give you a hand to receive so you can get us both out.

I promise you that I will be consistent, that I will be there, even if I am tired or sad or angry or frustrated or when I feel lonely. I promise to tell you that, and to tell you honestly, so that we can somehow find our way to each other again.

I promise you I won’t be perfect, but I will be real.

That I will forever remain strong, strong-minded, a woman with a big heart, – the woman you fell in love with. And no matter how much we change over the years, no matter how much life will both trample and caress us, I will remain faithful to that woman, I will remain faithful to us.

I promise to always work on myself, on us for our betterment. I’ll work on communication, on a goodnight kiss. I will work on falling in love with each other again even when we are old and senile.

I promise I will never be afraid. Neither us, nor what will happen next, nor love.

I promise I won’t be the ideal dream woman, but a woman who knows we’re just human and that for love it takes two.

Happy anniversary to us, my love!

  2. This was so beautiful to read. If I took away anything to apply to my own relationship, it would be “I can’t promise you that I will be perfect, because I am not, but I can promise you that I will be: A girl who never stops trying” .

  12. Happy Anniversary! It’s very important to remind our partners and ourselves that we are not perfect, and so are they, but we can always promise to compromise and work things out together.
