The Promise

ten days, ten long days until we meet,
                                              To me this will be the most wondrous treat;
                                              we talked for weeks and gotten to know,
                                              that we both share loves' radiant glow;
                                              my heart and your heart long to entwine,
                                              with a love that's true and totally divine;
                                              my arms and your arms long to embrace,
                                              hold each other as we stand face to face;
                                              never again will we ever be apart,
                                              as this is the beginning of life's new start;
                                              so much alike in all we say and do,
                                              that only our love will ever shine through;
                                              that you will be my one and only love,
                                              is a promise I make and swear to God above.
