Why didn't we just commit?

It was exactly 5 years ago this month when I first met you and I instantly thought.... You are THE ONE! I don't have very many regrets in my life, but I do regret quite a few things in our relationship. It devastates me to think we got to this point because we simply never made a commitment. I think if we had gotten married shortly after we met, we would have had a strong marriage because we both would have been committed to each other. Instead we were committed to our own agendas which led us to where we are today. I desperately want you to be my husband and for us to have a family. It's simply a shame that two people could be so perfect for each other yet never come together with enough certainty to become ONE. "WE" truly are a once in a lifetime.
