I have never in my life
wished for fortune or fame,
Only to be your
wife and to share your last name.
I never
have wanted a big house or a fancy car,
Just
to be somewhere close to you, wherever you
are.
Sitting together, sometimes not
saying much,
Having you close enough for me
to reach out and touch.
Having the confidence
in yourself to let me be me,
Knowing when you
look into my eyes it is love you
see.
Being held so tenderly by you when I
need to cry,
Sometimes not able to even give
you a reason why.
For me to know you will
always be there by my side,
A heart filled
with love and trust only you can
provide.
Talking things through to say
what is on our mind,
But then being able to
move on and leave it all behind.
You can’t
put a price on all of these things,
No furs
or greeting cards, no diamond rings.
Ever
since our wedding day when we first said I
do,
These are the only things I have ever
wanted from you.
So take the big house, fancy
car or any fortune or fame,
Please, know I am
content just sharing your last name.
