Keeping My Promise

Keeping My Promise

A Poem by mjsalyers

Well here we are .
I knew I would find you .
Here in my heart .
After you said " we're through " .
   If I could sail away .
   You would never know .
   I want to move on .
   But I can't let go .
      I'm keeping my promise .
      Keeping my promise .
      Keeping my promise .
      That I made to you ....


Now it is over .
My hands start to shake .
Life leaves a body .
As I drift away .
   I'm taking the memory .
   Where we live forever .
   Of when we were in love .
   And we were together .
      I'm keeping my promise .
      Keeping my promise .
      Keeping my promise .
      That I made to you ....


I feel my soul .
Drawing inside .
I'm feeling the freedom .
As I close my eyes .
   I don't know where you are .
   But , you're always with me .
   Because , I'll always love you .
   Turn out the lights because Im leavin' me .
      But I'm keeping my promise .
      Keeping my promise .
      Keeping my promise .
      That I made to you ....

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L-!-!-! I-I do not have any experiences with romantic relationships and yet my friends consult me for advice. But after reading your poem, I can back up everything I said to them, as I could prove my theories and this poem is proof of that! Well done. Well done.
