I want to be there for you

I know that you are not perfect
and nor can I claim to be either, but please believe me,
when I say
that I want to be
by your side,
to hold your hand,
to treasure you in the morning
and in the noon-tide,
to be next to you,
to be held close to your heart
now and for the rest
of my living years,
to comfort you,
dry your tears
and calm your most frightening fears,
to fight your battles
and show no shame
to scream my love for you
out loud all over the land
