Can you be mine for life???

I assume you know what this means
But I assure you that it isn't what it seems

You see, I love you more than anything
But there's one question I've been meaning
To ask...
Can you be mine for life?

You have acquired my heart and soul
To the depths no one can fathom, but behold
I'd like to know...
Can you be mine for life?

You have accepted the complex woman I can be
And yet you don't love me
Any different from yesterday
I need to know...
Can you be mine for life?

These questions just linger, though I believe I have heard
You utter these words
"You and I are partners for life"

Say it once more
Say it over and over and over again
For I will never tire of hearing it
An ode to my best friend...
