ROMANCE BOOKS

You are my beautiful woman
and I fear the day that I will marry you.
For the day that I marry you,
I will change.
Now,
I spend my time reading romance books
and dreaming of sunlit grassy knolls.
But when I marry you,
I will spend my time
gazing at your face
and kissing the hair on your temples.
So little will my friends see me
because I will be too busy holding your hand.
Too busy kissing your lips
and giving them the glow
that I see within them.
Making sure that your smile
when you are drifting off to sleep
is the same smile
that you wear
during the day, because of me.
So much sunlight
so much smiles
so many dim lights
within indoors.
I fear the day that I will marry you,
because I know that my life will change.
But I throw myself into those waves willingly
and earnestly
because that is what I want.

Not perfect at the end lines, but good enough for now.
I may want to change the last line later.
For example, because that is where I belong, or where I want to be.
I haven't gotten the words quite right.
Maybe something like "because there is no other life that I would want." or "There is nowhere I would rather be."
