A Promise to My Love

I sit here, looking back on memories
of a not so long ago time,
places we have been,
things you have said, plans we made..
I still feel your closeness,
the touch of your hand on my skin,
so warm, tender and sweet..

The feel of your arms enclosing me with comfort,
giving me a sense of security against my fears,
embracing me with love;
Your kiss filling me with a devotion
in which all have failed
to compare..

These are a few of the many things you have shown me,
that have meant the world to me..
And they are the things that bind your heart to mine,
and give me strength when I feel I can no longer be..

I know not the the depth of the pain I have caused in you
with the choices I have made, nor can I take them back,
Or ease the pain in your heart with simple words,
but this promise I will make..

I won't always be the best person,
I know I will make mistakes..
but I promise you I will be the best I can be,
whatever that may take.
I will give you the undying,
unconditional love that you so deserve,
without question, doubt or fear..

No distance can ever be too great,
nor will it stop my love for you;
I will love you and keep you in my heart;
and where ever life may take me, where I am,
there you will be..

And if my days shall be no more, my love will still not end,
for never will something come between our love again,
I will love you always,
through eternity..
