A Guarantee

Why aren't you here?
I kiss the phone goodnight.
I cannot yet begin to speak, 
Because my world is not yet right.

Only when I can see you, behold you once again.
Only when I can finally give you that kiss.
We are two of the luckier ones. Romeo & Juliet,
Poe and his Lady Annabelle Lee. Like them, we will be missed.

I could never speak to you again, and still never forget.
When I close my eyes, I know your smell.
We are unknown, but made to be one.
We know that we love each other more than we could tell.

What is it exactly?
We have understanding, patience, I cherish you.
We have little time, but many memories.
I have a pool of love you want to fall in to.

Never thought I would have someone like you.
Thought I would love an average man.
I may differ from you in unrealistic ways,
But you can guarantee, for you, I will do anything I can.

I love you so much. You mean so much to me.
Don't ever doubt us, I'm giving you this guarantee.
