It doesn't Matter

It doesn’t matter whether you can buy me expensive gifts or not
It doesn’t matter whether you can take me out and spoil me or not
It doesn’t matter whether you have money or not
It matters not, whether we have kids or not
It doesn’t matter whether we can afford the best in life or not

But it matters:
That we keep being friends
That you keep being a partner
That you keep being yourself
That you love me for me
That I trust you and love you

And he sent this to me:
My angel, its been a year since we both agreed that "WE DO". Its been a year of trying hard, a year of ups and down but most of all a year of discovery, the discovery of what LOVE means. And here once again with renewed vigor, with the understanding of what it means to love you and be loved by you I here by renew, upgrade, update and reload that vow again;I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. Now tomorrow and when its just me and you at the other side of age and graying I will continue to love you. You are my world, my everything, my ARIKE EDU.
D MAN!

And I said to him:
My dude, I don’t mind being single, I don’t mind being alone, I don’t mind not having anyone to refer to as my “husband”, I don’t mind what the society would think about my beliefs BUT given you up would have being the greatest error in humankind history and I am happy I averted the error!!!
HAPPY “ONE YEAR” WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO YOU AND ME!!!
