Promises

Aching,
Tormented,
Discouraged,
And lost is how I feel.
How I felt when you said what you did.
How I felt when you left me to ponder.
How I feel when you don't respond.
Though, you probably felt all this and worse
When I walked out of your life
Time and time again.
This time I promise,
Promise not to be afraid of my feelings for you,
Promise not to run when I feel overwhelmed with YOU!
