If I was trapped under an avalanche
If I was being thrown to the lions
If I was caught in the middle of a riot
I wouldn’t want to be with you
If I was carrying a deadly infectious disease
If I was being stalked by a serial killer
If I was living in a box under a bridge
I wouldn’t want to be with you
If I was lost in the desert without water
If I was being chased down by gangsters
If I sucked into a black hole’s vortex
I wouldn’t want to be with you
If I was about to be hit by a train
If I was abandoned in the woods for dead
If I was food for some alien race
I wouldn’t want to be with you
I am not trapped, I am not food
I am not endangered, diseased
Or infectious
I am not bait, I am not helpless
I am not thirsting, desperate
Or witless
I am not chaotic, I am not careless
I am not abandoned, alone
Or appetising
I am only thankful
I am forever grateful
You came along and saved me
Before I even needed saving

This is lovely, but I disagree; I want a partner who I would want to be by my side in those situations!
But then, perhaps I am a selfish person..
Loved the last,
'You came along and saved me
Before I even needed saving'
Another vow...

Thanks Jen. I wrote this for my wife some years ago. I think she kind of feels the same as you.
