Love's Promised Fate

A simple request
Upon your departure
In feeling so blessed
By Love's little Archer:

To kiss it so lightly:
Your soft little brow
Of which I dream nightly
And missed until now.

A kiss on the left,
A kiss on the right.
I hold you bereft,
I hold you so tight

Thoughts of you leaving
Fill me with sadness;
Thoughts so deceiving
To steal all my gladness.

So here will I wait
For treasured return
While Love's promised fate
I ardently yearn...
