Promise Me

Promise me

Promise me a lifetime
Of you
Waking up beside me
Your face
All soft and lovely
In the dawn’s early light

Let me feel your body
Warm and hungry
As you hold me
The strength of your embrace
Be both my comfort and my fire

Promise me
The moments
While we share our morning coffee
Long gazes
Gentle touches
To relive the whole day long

Let me work beside you
And we’ll build our dreams together
Believing in each other
And the mercy of our God

Promise me
And yet
You need not promise me at all
I know
I see forever in your eyes
It’s just my way of saying
That I want you now and always
It’s just possible
Forever
May be almost long enough
