There’s comfort as I bathe in your loyalty.
I can count on your faithfulness to the script we are writing.
This love story of commitment and devotion is like none other.
I adore your dedication to our cause.
I can depend on you, my reliable partner.
You’ve been steady, for the most part.
True to me, for the most part.
A constant when the world wasn’t.
My staunch champion, solidly there for me.
I think you can be trusted.

Sigh. The last line reminds me of the Tina Turner lyric from What’s Love Got to Do With It:
What’s love got to do, got to do with it
What’s love but a second hand emotion
What’s love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

Yes, when someone’s heart is broken, it’s hard to trust again. Thanks for stopping by, Patrick!

Lovely thoughts, but not sure about ‘for the most part…’

“For the most part” refers more to the fact that we’re all fallible. Humans make mistakes or are not always living up to expectations.
