The Vow She Made Poem by Guarded Heart

“I will wait for you”
She said it, but you know pain will too

She meant every last word she ever said
And every night, she recalls her vow
Each and every lonely night as she slips into an empty bed

But she remembers her vow with happiness
A secret smile on her face
She has the memories, they help her sleep

No one understands it
Why does she wait?
Only she can look forward to the day
When he will return, when she will again
Lay her green eyes upon his perfect face
And remember the day she said

“For you, I will wait”
