The Edge of My Heart

The Edge of My Heart

By Annette Camp

Ours is the kind

that people look

at and go "Theirs 

is a real love story."

Our love has the

freedom to just

be, live, and

love. To laugh.

To cry.

And to seek

comfort in 

the arms of

each other.

To choose each

other every day.

Not because we're

bound by a promise

of exclusivity or

A legal document,

but by our true

belief in each 

other. Our love.

Even in times of

frustration with

one another. Or

hard times. I

will choose you.

It may be hard

when you're upset

with me. But I

will remind you.

That regardless

I choose you.

Even when you

are cranky, I

will choose you.

When either of

us do something

stupid, we'll have 

to just remember

To choose each other

regardless and

offer forgiveness.

It will always be a 

daily decision.

Sometimes moment

by moment even.

To be honest,

there have been

Moments when I

thought you were

slipping through my 

fingertips and

I was fearful

Of losing you, but

you always chose me

and that brought 

me reassurance to

Know that of any

decision you could

make, you made

the one to love 

me undisputedly.

There's no other

feeling so good

as that. Whenever

you might push

Me away, I just

have to remember

to breathe through

it and know that

love will win.

And if there 

comes a time

we have to work

at it. I'm willing

To do the work.

I want to do

the work. We 

can do the work

and we don't have

To wait until

it gets hard.

I love that our

relationship

Is one of choice

and that is what

is bursting at the

edge of my heart.

I choose you.
