"Promises"

I wear a ring to remind
myself of promises to you.
I will wait for you.
I won't run away from you.
I won't let you run away.

You say that when you
see the goal at the end
you could/would wait forever.
I promise not to make you
wait that long for us
to be together at last.

We know in our souls
that this is worth all
the pain in our hearts.
The wait will be long
and difficult for us,
but I promise you it's right.

The promises we've made
to each other at this point
are just a new beginning.
