Promises

Folder: 
Just poems

Take my hand when my eyes weep,
hold me gently in your arms.
Stroke my hair while I sleep,
capture me with your charms.
~~~
Provide to me time and space,
listen closely as I speak.
Secure in your life, my place,
support me the times I am weak.
~~~
Cherish all our time together,
appreciate times we're apart.
Mean it when you say forever,
let my absence gnaw at your heart.
~~~
Celebrate my joys with me,
feel my sorrows, as well.
Be the pages of my diary,
know my secrets, but never tell.
~~~
And I beg you we seldom fight,
let our differences exist in peace.
With a kiss for every goodnight,
let our passions never cease.
~~~
But above all these, my love,
swear that you'll always be true.
And it's not you I ask these of~
they are my promises to you....

Promises

I love how you wrapped this up in the last line. """they are my promises to you....""" The promises I hold or keep is really all that matters.
