I Promise

Whispered promise...Ill keep it with me
Always devoted, you control my emotions
It stays this way, even as you left
  left no breath passing sweet lips
I called those lips mine,  even for this short time
Sobs push past false composure
    breaking down now....she's gone now
Frailty in life I'd never realized
I couldn't fathom pain til now...suffocating sorrow
 crushed under the weight of loss

In faintest silence I hear your golden laughter
 as though you sent it in the wind
I feel the warmth that was our friendship
 hairs raise as I sense your presence here
Your fragrance wafts through my mind
  when passing lilac fields
The strangest is that of childrens eyes
  When they smile sincere, 
                    it reminds me of your shine


Death may seperate our paths...
This lifetime wasn't to be ours
Wait for me...I'll find you someday
This my whispered promise made
