I love you

not only for

the woman you are

but also for

the woman

you've been trying

to become.

I love you

not only for

the woman you are

but also

for the man

that I become

when I am with you.

I feel inspired

to be a better man.

Not necessarily better man

than others,

but better man

than what I ordinarily

would have been.

God knows,

the number of times

I failed

with a woman.

God knows,

I cannot afford

another failure.

Its gotta happen,

happen sometime,

I've lost the last

3 times.

maybe this time,

just maybe this time,

you and I

we're gonna win.
