My Promise

**Rough Copy

You have infused my life with meaning
Before you I was lost and afraid
I can't picture a single day without you
You are my lover and friend

I want to be the reason you smile each day
Your safe harbor when the storm is near
Let my voice guide you home
Where you belong
Where you will not be alone

I will always be your admirer
Ready to satisfy every fantasy
Ready to embrace and protect
To stop the pain of wounds which still bleed

I want to write poetry and express my love
Exploring emotions which you have awakened
And although my ground you have shaken
There is nowhere else I want to go

I want to be the one you ran to when scared
The first person you reach out to when elated
Let me make your fantasies a reality
You can fall into you, I will catch you
My love for you although imperfect it's pure

Girl, let me be the one you need
Let me be your destination when your feet wander
Home is where my heart calls for you
Where you are never lost
Where you can cry, laugh and explore

Let me be your furtive lover and faithful companion
Life won't always be easy
That is why life made me strong
So I may hold and embrace you tightly 
Reminding you of your own worth

Rest your head on my shoulders
With me you don't need to be on guard
Release yourself,
Lose control
I won't disappoint you
I promise, I won't let go.
