I won't promise to never tease you, because that's how I show affection. I hope, occasionally, you dish it back too. And I won't promise that I won't drive you crazy because I hope you're always as madly in love with me as I am with you.

But I can promise to love you unconditionally, unrestrained all the time. I will write you love letters until all my pens run out of ink. I may be quiet and full of secrets to most people, but to you, I'll speak until I no longer have breath- I will tell you everything. My brain might constantly be erasing itself, and I'm known for my horrendous memory, but I promise to savor every ticket stub, each concert slip, and all the rose petals as a mental reminder in a box beneath my bed. Every instance you're in my presence, I will always be touching your skin: hands resting on hands, thighs touching thighs as we watch a movie, feet grazing feet under the kitchen table.

I am human, I will make mistakes in this journey, and you will too. This is my promise, that if you love me with the same whirlwind I have for you, I will forever love you.
