Perfect or imperfect

you are a friend, in fact,

tackle it with tact

and never react

 

you said it in earnest

I liked it as best

there has to be no test

be assured about the rest

 

I am carried away by your words

and look forward

for the golden day

when you shall join my day

 

I have no reason to doubt

and talk about 

but take you seriously 

and offer the hand unconditionally 

 

will you be mine?

and sign 

the pledge

to remain with an age 

 

I shall promise

not to surprise

with any shocking news

but apprise with the good news
