I Love You Forever

I send this to my dearest one,

Losing to you was the best thing to ever happen to me
Once rivals now turned into a blooming rose
Vivacious memories of you, my skillful warrior
Ever dancing with glory will always chase away my woes

You gave me a diamond on the day I first saw you
One so battered it seemed as if it had seen a war
Ugly was what I thought of it, but the gesture was kind

For days we frequented the same forsaken lobbies
One hundred and eleven days, to be exact
Repeatedly, you gave me battered diamonds
Eventually, if only to spend more time with you, I sent them back
Very thankfully, we teamed up, starting our own floating isle
Eagerly I now plan to ask you to do one final thing for me
Read the very first letter of every line, if you would please
