A Promise

I wrote this for Boyfriend, but am putting it up here before I send it to him because I want to know if you think he'll like it or not. :) It's about our long-distance relationship. Well. Here goes.

So one day

You stopped being a left behind Mauritian

And became someone new

Someone that changed my life

You became you.

Your eyes could show me the universe

If only I could see.

Your words could make the air thick

The space between us

Narcotic with love

If only I could breathe. 

With you, I’m complete

You bring out the best and worst in me

You taught me how to love again

And it’s hard to imagine a future

Without you.

Speaking of the future, I know it looks difficult

What with all the distance, time, space and doubt

All the lines between true and untrue

But because I know you love me

I know we’ll stay strong

And I know we’ll make it through.

So, every night, beside my bed,

When I look up at the night sky;

I’ll wish upon the brightest stars

I’ll pray that we never give up

And will always remain the way we are.

In those quiet moments of dusk and summer,

I’ll wonder how you are

Even if we’re apart in distance

I promise that from my thoughts

You’ll never be far.

On those busy days,

When you've got a thousand things to do;

Let the memories of you and me waltz through your mind

Let me enter your thoughts

And spend some time with you.

 In that quiet moment,

When you're surprised to find me there;

Just remember this:

Even with the miles of distance between us

I’m still going to love you

And I’m still going to care.

Tomorrow does not stand apart for me as

A shiny brand new day;

It’s just a part of the tapestry of life, love, laughter and beauty

The tapestry we weaved

One made up of yesterdays

All I’m saying is

I’m ready

I’m ready to live my life

Separated by the two;

Doing everything I’m supposed to do

And yet always loving you.
