Promise Rings Poem by black heart

The promise rings were supposed to be a symbol of our undying love, our commitment to each other, a promise to always be faithful to one another, to stand beside each other in the good times and in the bad, a promise to listen when one of us needs to be heard, a promise to always love each other no matter what, a promise of helping each other become all that we can be, a promise to keep our relationship strong and a promise of much more. But by not feeling ready to have a ring am I also not ready for all of the meaning it holds? Does it mean that I've failed you? That I'm really not as ready for you as I thought I was? I'm just not sure anymore. How do I know you're really the one for me if you're the only one I've ever been with? Like you've said before, 'I'm young'. 'I don't know what I want out of life yet'. 'I'm not even fully sure of who I am yet'. But you probably have been with other people and know what you're looking for and you say you've found it in me. I think I've found everything I want and need in you and so much more but I'm just not sure. I don't mean for this to hurt you because I really do care about you more than anything but I'm not sure about us anymore. I really think that I love you because whenever I'm with you it's like the rest of the world disappears and nothing else matters but you. When you hold my hand in yours I feel this strong connection between us and it just makes me feel so warm. When I look into your eyes I feel as though I could live inside them because your eyes seem to hold so much love. Your strong embrace feels so amazing and I just love it when you hold me tight. But I'm so confused, when I'm with you everything just seems so right but when we're apart I feel so alone and that's when I start to think that maybe I'm just not ready. And I don't know when I will be. I just hope that I figure this out quick before making any decisions because everything is just so confusing and I don't know what to do.
