Rajiv has penned a touching poem detailing the vibrant journey that he has been on ever since meeting his soulmate, Tia, and eventually marrying her.

The poem is so vivid and romantic that it will make you want to sing it along to an Ed Sheeran ballad.

Here is the poem in its entirety:

We were at crossroads when we first met
 She was job hunting and I was finishing school
 But if I had passed up on this chance
 I would have been a fool

I was looking for lust
 Had no plans at all for love
 But then she came along
 Like a gift from above

She was everything one could ask for
 Caring, funny and truly dedicated
 At first my life was bleak
 But then she got me rejuvenated

We went out on many dates
 And I learned about her taste
 Fried oyster without the oyster
 And pasta with cream base

My love for her spread like a rash
 And she was the cure for the itch
 I had to impress her from the start
 And present my best sales pitch

Arguments were of course inevitable
 Especially due to finances
 But we pulled through and steadied up
 Despite the challenging circumstances

Things took a turn for the better
 When we both found full time employment
 But being an adult meant that
 Responsibilities never stayed dormant

From milk powder, childcare and rent
 The money kept slipping out
 Thankfully our families were there
 Whom we couldn't do without

In time we pulled our resources together
 And saved up for a Sale of Balance flat
 No more staying in a cigarette filled house
 Or sleeping on a thin mat

She made me grow up
 I was not the boy I used to be
 Dealing with housework and soiled diapers
 Suddenly became a thing of regularity

With the two kids around
 She worked so hard but slept very little
 Anyone else would have been broken
 Thankfully my baby is not that brittle

But she was not left alone
 For I played my part
 Giving no less than 100%
 To all three of my sweethearts

I was never the best mannered person
 But she teaches me to be humble
 And she is always there to ensure
 That I stay out of trouble

Without her my life lacks purpose
 That goes without any mention
 She is the air traffic controller
 That guides me in the right direction

We have been really blessed this life
 Kids, marriage and a new house
 Best part of it all was that
 It was achieved with her as my spouse

There is no one else like her
 I hope to spend my end of days
 Cuddled up in her arms
 Always, all ways
