Notes About The Poem

Promise You Will Be Here

Just believe you will still be here
 When I will be here too.
  That I will heal sufficiently,
   To see you come right back to me.
     I want to be with you.
   Don't leave me all alone, I fear
  A life without your laugh.
 I want us wheeze in unison,

No end while we have just begun...
 I know, I am no seer.
  Nor am I healer, or confessor,
   I'm just this loving kid,
    That crossed your path one day,
     No bigger, but smaller, lesser.
    Had no idea we'd fit
   Like fingers in a glove.

  Please say:
                      "I'll be here when you return,
                       I'll stroke your back, I'll kiss you,
                       I'll be here because I yearn,
                       Because I love...
                       I love you".

Just believe you will still be here,
 Because you want to be with me.
  I'll smoothe the creases in your brow,
   Wipe away your fear.
    If only please...

     Promise you will be here,
    That when I wake you'll be near.
   My virtual arms can hold us,
  We both fit there so nicely,
Be here, for you, for me.

Oooh I really like this one. This is a fav because specifically I love (lol) the way you did the "Because I love... I love you". I don't really know how to explain it, but that is perfect and very clear on how someone would say/express that. Nicely done!!
