I Promise You

poem by: Andy Wilden
Written on Dec 17, 2014

A fire burns within my heart,
Which our love will eternally testify.
I feel it strong while we're apart,
I love you so much and this is why.

You have always been my support and my guide,
Through all our ups and downs.
You have ever stood there by my side,
And been with me to stand my ground.

I love you just isn't strong enough,
To show you how much I care.
You are my strength when it is tough,
When my heart is too weak to bear.

How can I show you, that my heart is true?
There’s no feeling to show you the full extent.
With heart and soul we're stuck like glue,
And by God's love we're truly meant.

Things might seem hard, the distance grown,
But my love for you will never cease.
Your love for me you have shown,
And in my heart, I have total peace.

We long so dear, for each other’s touch,
A touch we have grown to know.
Your loving smile, I miss so much,
Your gentle hands on me you did bestow.

Be patient my sweet, I'm coming home,
To be where my life and love belongs.
A commitment of love we have sown,
But for now we have to be strong.

No matter how long it takes,
Our goal, our lives is truly set.
Stand strong now, for our loves sake, 
We’ve known this since the day we met.

So listen to all these humbled words,
I mean them with all my body, soul and heart.
The angels in holy heaven have heard,
How I can't stand that we are apart.

But fear not my love, I say with a smile,
My love for you is yours to keep.
Till our special day, when you walk down the aisle,
When I know my soul will surely weep.

But till that day just remember this vowel,
And keep it safe under lock and key.
I love you for always, future, past and now,
And be together as one, for all eternity.
