You Promised
You promised
Yes you promised me
That we would grow old together
Our pathway would be traveled hand in hand
Now I am faced with the possibility
Yes the possibility
Of traveling alone
I cannot
I don't want to
The thought is unbearable
I need you to be my everlasting
My comfort
My smile
You alone know my heart
Your whisper is my resonance
I dance within your borders
The music of you expands my horizons
Let me be your tether
I can be your immovable rock
Let my unspoken be your comfort
A surgeons knife cannot cut through our bond
Do not swim to that distant shore
Float upon our faith
Ask God to help you complete our covenant
For your breath is my own
Your eyes help me see
Your hands extend my reach
As you travel within unconsciousness
Be aware of my presence
I will not leave you alone
For you are my everything
Come back to my loving arms
For if you do not
I will age, one hundred years
In but a moment.
I was writing this for Elly's last letter contest.
I went over twenty lines so I can't enter it.
Thankfuly this is a fictional account.
