A Promise

Nostalgia filled my soul, looking at the view
Distant seemed the past, oh the present too 
I see bridges occupied by few, yet what is apparent 
Dams blocking the clarity, although transparent 
Nostalgia filled my soul, looking back in time 
Warrior seeking light amid all the grime 
Let’s build a bridge, what a soothing joy!
Doubt and fear let’s destroy! 
Yet silence was the reward 
By choice it was poured 
A sign of comfort, often I wondered 
A sign of distance, in my head it thundered
Could it be, I don’t know you,
What I know is what I ought to?! 
I ponder for a while, then I choose to ignore
True friendship & honesty you swore
if I doubt my heart will be sore
How can I question …you are my soul mate 
If I do, our pure, true bond I desecrate
A bond indelible in our palm, on the line of fate
Forgive me my love, 
A burden I once said, distance what I dread
Still, our best talks were with words unsaid 
Nostalgia filled my soul; yet comfort what I feel
Happiness and health for you I pray as I kneel
Whether in my arms, here or miles apart
With all my heart, this I impart...
