Be Mine

Will you, my darling, be mine?

Not to slay dragons or gift me the moon.

Not to Rescue me from magical towers

Or to travel on flying Pegasus to faraway lands.

Not to fight my battles or to save me from scars.

But, to cheer me on when I struggle.

To be my strength, my courage,

A shoulder to cry on,

A pillar to lean on.

To hug me close to your heart.

To be by my side in rain and shine

And walk with me into the sunset.

Will you, my darling, be mine?
