The bond without self is empty

Don't you ever forget -
Don't you dare forget, my love...
Don't forget...
Today, forever and always,
You are married first and foremost to yourself.

For, without you -
There can be no relationship.
It takes two for a bond,
And if you forget yourself,
You have taken yourself out of the bond,
Out of the equation.

To forget yourself -
In order to love someone else,
Is to kill off a main character
In the relationship you seek to have.

So do me a favor,
Don't forget -
Today, forever and always,
You are married first and foremost to yourself.
