Prenuptial



The woman who is meant to be along my side
and dedicated for eternity,
the woman who loves me,
endless and complete,
must know that the assurance of this fact is key,
because a man's heart at birth leans toward distrust,
a woman is nurturing and giving at heart even in lust,
truly the better half of all of us,
however still what is true,
a woman deserving and earning of my heart,
is a woman that I can honestly say I will never part,
but before I can let you so securely into my heart,
the defining of a true counterpart must be our start.
