When I say I love you, this is what I am telling you...
I will always protect you and protect your heart.
I will always stand beside you no matter what.
I will not leave you for bad finances, poor health, or heartache.
I will do my level best to make you as happy as I possibly can, each and every day.
I will always be on your side, no matter who it is that is opposing you, including family.
I will do my level best to honour you and your family every day.
I will never say things to you to hurt you on purpose.
I will never take the confidences that you have entrusted to me and hurt you with them.
I will hold and protect your heart as if it were my very own, because, in fact, it is.
I will rejoice with you in your success and mourn with you at the failures life brings.
I will make your welfare and happiness my priority each day.
I will believe you and I will believe IN you every single day.
I will understand when you have a bad day and I will love you through it.
I will hold you when you cry.
I will always respect you.
I will rejoice with you when your heart is made glad.
I will encourage you in all of your dreams and support you in acheiving all your goals.
I will never hold you back.
I will never tolerate anyone denegrading you in any way.
I will trust you with my secrets and my hurts.
I will trust you with my failures and give them to you for safekeeping, trusting that you will lock them away so that no one can use them as a weapon against me.
I will allow myself to be vulnerable with you, so that you can see the real me, not the me that I show the world.
I will hug you everyday, and make sure that I tell you that I love you every day, just in case, at some point in that day, you need to hear it and I am not beside you to tell you.
I will hold you, just because I want to.
I will give you kisses everyday.
I will tell you when you are wrong, and help you to make it right, no matter what that takes.
I will stand against your wrath, trusting the Lord that He will show you what it is you need to know.
I will never belittle you, or make you feel small or worthless.
I will never reject you.
I will willingly and happily give up my life for you.
I will never take your hurts and use them to hurt you all over again.
I will honour you in all that I do every day.
I will only ever speak well of you, because the times that I don't want to, are the times that you need me to protect you the most.
I will make sure that you know that you are the most important person to me in my life, each and every day.
I will do my best to live 1 Corinthians 13 every day.
When you are old ,and can't do the things that you used to do, I will make sure you know that to me, you are still my knight in shining armour.
And when you die, I will be beside to hold your hand as you meet your Saviour.
