Our Future

I was angry and confused.
You chose to leave me and that hurt.
So badly!
The thought of your early return got my
hopes higher than the moon.
But you decided to stay...
I didn't understand -- I felt betrayed.

     "I want to marry you.

      I want to spend the

     rest of my life with you"

You had never expressed that desire before.
That level of commitment.
I can think of nothing else.
I had no idea you've ever thought of our future in those terms.
I had doubts before but when I read those
words I knew.

I knew you finally realized what
I am really worth to you.
I knew you wanted to be the kind
of man that can always be there for me.
I knew you were thinking only of me.

Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder.
Especially your heart.
I beg that statement to be true for us both.

I make no promises to you, and you know why.
I only promise to myself.
I promise myself to not lose the opportunity of you.
If you can do that for me, I will certainly do that for you.

I don't know how things will turn out...
But I so badly want The Future to be
Our Future
