I don’t want a relationship. I want a commitment. I want to know that you won’t leave when I need you. Commitment doesn’t necessarily mean a future or even forever together. To me commitment means that you won’t leave me in the middle of nowhere and expect me to find my way back. A commitment is a promise. It means you won’t ever hurt me. You won’t lie to me. It means if we don’t work out, you will still be there for me when I need you. I don’t want a man who just the love of my life. I want him to be my best friend first. I want that full trust.
He said: I promise not to hurt you, I promise not to lie. I promise to befriend you and defend you with my life. I promise you forever, I promise you today.
If you can do that: I’ll rock your promise ring.
