When I Get Married...

When I get married, I don't want to have to do so
Because mother nature has given me a "nine month" time limit.
I don't want to get married because he feels guilty.
Or because I didn't want to hurt his feelings when he asked.
I don't want to get married because I'm afraid to lose him.
Or because I feel it would change his cheating ways.

I don't want to get married because he promised to stop hitting me,
Or because I'm afraid he will if I don't.
I don't want to get married because she'll finally back off
Or maybe he'll stop leading her on.


When I get married,
If I should...
I want to get married because we're not perfect,
But our love for eachother has no flaws.


I want to get married because we may argue
But we're both always the first to apologize.
I want to get married because he'd never lay a finger on me
Unless we were making love.


I want to get married because I feel nervous butterflies
Because every time we're together feels like the first day we met.
I want to get married because I'm in love

And so is he.

And we're ready to spend the rest of our lives together.
No third wheel
No abuse
No drama
Just understanding, reason, responsibility, romance and love.
Because when I get married...
It'll be for keeps :)
