Description: I posted this a long time ago originally under "Love's Promise" but I think the new title is better.
Yes, it's quite short. I like it that way.
The Best of Me -------------------------------------------
Dream of your troubles
That I may kiss them away.
Let me hold you
Until they fade,
And if your love
Turns to hate,
I promise not to leave,
I swear I'm here to stay.
Promises and love are not two things I see in the same duality. Take the concept of your poem a step or three further and replace them with vows and marriage.
I don't question your dedication to any relationship Jen. You are an inspiration and I see hope for the future of people in dedication like yours.
Your piece is short and very much to the point.
You like it that way and so do I!
i never read the original, but you are right that the shortness works well. it increadibly provoking for a short piece, offering to stay through hare. i like it a lot. good write.
