I know you need to go <br />This I won't deny <br />And I refuse to slow you down <br />So my concerns and thoughts I will hide <br />I don't want you to think twice because of me <br />This is something that you want AND have to do <br />Show I'm not gonna show my worry when you're around, <br />And my tears won't show in front of you <br />I don't want you to go far away <br />Or leave without saying goodbye <br />I don't want to be forgotten <br />Or simply tossed aside <br />I don't want you to give up on me <br />Or be gone for too many years <br />But you're not gonna give up what you want to do <br />Because of my unimportant worries and fears <br />I'll miss you while your gone... <br />Think of you every day... <br />Maybe dream some dreams of you... <br />Mention your name when I pray <br />I'll love you day in and day out <br />More with each passing day <br />Be anxious for every time you call me <br />'I Love You' I promise I will say <br />I'm so scared because that time is coming <br />It feels as fast as a freight-train <br />Every second my fear grows <br />Without you here, it's not gonna be the same <br />Not seeing you in the hallways <br />Or you not being able to walk me to class <br />My heart is going to feel just as fragile <br />As a thin piece of glass <br />I'm going to feel so alone <br />Even with hundreds of people around <br />I won't be able to hear your voice in person ever day <br />Which to me, is the sweetest sound <br />I don't care what anyone says <br />They're gonna have to wake up and see <br />That nothing can tear our true love apart <br />And that I'm in love with you and you're in love with me <br />So while you're gone in college <br />I won't leave, betray you in any way, or do anything to hurt you <br />I will love you 'Always&Forever'... <br />I Promise I Will Wait For You<br /><br />Shelby Renee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-promise-i-will-wait-for-you/
