Promise Me

I gotta tell you something.

I love you.

I know.

My love for you goes on

forever.

I will do anything,

everything,

for you.

You don’t understand.

What?

I can’t return your

everlasting love.

 

I want you to promise me

one thing.

Don’t forget or regret.

 

I want you to remember.

Remember the good times

and the bad.

 

I want you to live.

Dwell in your

promising future.

I need you.

I needed you.

It is time to move on.

 

I want you to smile.

Smile when you think of me.

Smile back on our memories.

 

I want you to learn.

You are beautiful.

You can do the impossible and

beyond.

 

I will miss you.

You taught me

to remember the good times,

to live in my future.

You taught me to smile,

and showed me that I was

beautiful.

Thank you.

Promise?

Promise.

Author's Note

I had a sudden inspiration from this song.
I might take away the dialogue at the beginning.
The left side is the boy talking, and the right side is the girl talking.

**Please leave constructive feedback. This is literally my first love poem**

I like the dual affliction here that this piece sends to the reader....myriad thoughts structured so well! This is amzing work...it shows the diversity of thought but how much it really connects, common ground is there, just not often seen! Sensational work xx

[SamBug]

This was creative. I like your style!

Great read. As previously said it is very sad. It had the feeling of a let down, or let go. Maybe even a goodbye piece. You portrayed a clear message, and the emotions came through well. Could easily be taken into many different directions depending on how you want the story to end. Good stuff.

Regards,

Matthew

Superb peace friend, very emotional hearty piece. I think you nailed it. Good job.

It has such a sad undertone running through it, perhaps it's just the romantic in me, wanting always the happy ending, to reach up and grab the fairytale to make it real, to believe in happy ever endings *sigh*
But your poem is more realistic, more synical more real, and for one so young it's exceptional :O)

Very sad poem. It hurt to read about the girl's heart breaking. Well done!

There is such a gently sad melody flowing here.. that sense of saying goodbye... of letting go though clinging tight.. It hurt to read.. Maybe I dont want anyone to ever say farewell...
