This is Love.

Strong one, be my friend and watch
on the high walls to warn me
of any and all oncoming enemies,
and please, would you stay and fight with me.

I will be your friend, watch
on the high ramparts, while I create the battle plans.
We will be ready and willing together,
never not together, because anything less will surely lead to failure.

Be my warrior, stand faithfully by
my side and sound a uncompromising battle cry.
We march on, out past the front lines
and please, help me to defeat the foes standing before me.

I will be your warrior, always at your disposal
and readily charging at the sound of your battle cry.
We face strong enemies with a love many calibers above
any force evil would mean to use against us.

Be my leader and use wisdom
to lead and guide me because
I am going to follow you willingly, walking
under your banner that's been marked by our love.

I will follow you and use wisdom to
help and support your benevolent lead
and you walk on ahead so willingly, walking
under my banner marked by gentleness and peace.

Be my knight, and I, your princess to fight
for and to keep, always look behind
to make sure I haven't fallen on bended knee
and if I have, turn your back, unprotected to protect me.

I am your princess, my shining knight.
I stand behind to protect you from
underhanded, vile knives aimed for your back,
under your wing, made from ribs that defend your heart.

Together we work as one in arms
and we face every being, every thing that would intend us harm.
Facing the many and varying trials, weapons, and storms
together forever to bear up for and under each other.

This is real, true, beautiful love.
