Unempty Heart

I want to thank you for coming into my life and for filling in the empty part of my heart.

I used to be alone in my place, alone as I sleep, alone as I eat, and alone as I cry. I seat down on the table drinking coffee wishing that someday, somehow I could have somebody sharing the coffee with me. Years past and yet, I still wake up with nothing but pillow on my side.

I used to cry and wipe my tears alone coz nobody would and nobody dares to do it for me. Then I cried more and more. I never lost hope, though, that one day, he will come and take my hand more than I ever dreamt of.

Here you are right now, right before me, true and real.

Im not afraid to cry anymore, not because you are there to wipe that tears away from me but because I have you on my side tapping my shoulder, embracing me, sharing my very emotions and because I know that you will hold my hands and let me feel I am being loved by you.

Im not afraid to wake up anymore not because I know that I will wake up with you on my side but because I know that a wonderful smile will flow on my face by seeing a man who has decided to share his life with me and making me part of his dreams. That would be a wonderful way to start a day aside from praising Him who created everything.

I will not be afraid to eat anymore not because I have you sharing the food with me but because I know that as I cook and fix the food I am doing it for you who have inspired me and gave me all the reasons in the world to set the gas range for cooking and the table for eating.

I want to thank you not only for finding and loving me but I want to thank you for making a BOLD STEP OF ACCEPTING EVERY BIT OF MY FLAWS, OF MY WEAKNESSES, OF MY CRAZINESS. For making EXTRA STEPS TO ACCEPT EVERY BIT OF MY STRENGTHS, OF MY POWERS, AND OF MY PASTS.

I am now declaring before everybody that I LOVE YOU SO MUCH and taking you as my HUSBAND and the FATHER of our would-be-children not because I will not be alone in this life anymore but because I know that I RATHER BE ALONE IN THIS LIFE THAN TO MARRY SOMEBODY ELSE OTHER THAN YOU!!!!

    These vows are beautiful, heartwarming and would have loved to hear my husband say these words to me. The only issue is how much there is to read.

  • Don’t Write A Book

    This is far too long to be a vow. Writing a letter to give someone another time is fine but you have gone into too many details. Vows are light and loving. Not dark and depressing.

  • I have to beg to differ.

    I honestly feel, that from a personal perspective, and some that has struggled with depression myself that it does play a huge role in the person you become. If someone feels that type of way, then why not share? Nobody should have to feel alone or embarrassed when it comes down to how they feel. You have the right to say that you would feel embarrassed, although the author of these vows obviously would not.. I do have to say, though. The positioning of the words seem as if the author had not checked for grammatical errors. It has a beautiful way of expressing deep feelings, although I personally feel there are too many details crammed into one thought. I see this as a rough draft for a wedding how, though I would definitely make corrections! Otherwise, like I said its a start!
