Choose To Love, Choose to Wait

The reason I wait for marriage to have sex

Is much more than just STDs, much more complex

I wait because I already passionately love my future wife

Love her so much I’d give up anything for her in life


I know that she is out in the world right now somewhere

Thinking of her having sex with another guy causes despair

So why should I be allowed to cheat time and go ahead

When I expect her towait until we are happily wed


In my mind it is just not an option to get a divorce

For so many couples now-a-days, that is their course

But ours shall definitely be different from all the rest

But I already have an undying love for her within my chest


I choose to wait, that is my choice

For when I am married, I shall rejoice

I love my wife now simply because I can

To love her now and always is my plan

Haven't been writing much poetry... Every time I get started I can't figure out the ending of the poem and end up hitting delete. Call it writer's block or writer's cramp... whatever you want. But I managed to pull this one out of the hat and hopefully it works. Not my best piece of poetry, but am still hoping someone on the site enjoys reading it.

    thought provoking, mature

    Wonderful sentiments. It is reassuring to hear a young person speak of commitment and love in marriage.

    I appreciate your rhyme. Some of it is quite complex.

    I would suggest leaving out a few words you do not need...e.g. 'that' in 'I know that..' Finding these words makes the poem more succinct. Meter is difficult...I think we all need some lessons with it and it then becomes necessary to leave out a lot of the 'extra.'

    I can pick something to improve in every one of my poems...Shame about that.

    Enjoyed your poem. I am off to read more.

    This is great Tim! Very unusual these days, but I think it's so totally awesome that you are waiting. Society just keeps pushing the issue and allows it but to know that you are following your heart and doing what is right is just so amazing. YAY for you! It is truly a blessing to your future wife and to you as well. Awesome poem here. Good luck in the contest.

    This is wonderful! It is so wonderful to know that there are guys who think this way and want their future wives to do the same. So often I'm told "no guy is going to wait, so why should you?" and it's really depressing to hear that. Your poem brings hope back to the girls who will wait.

    I like the rhyme and meter--though they're not perfect, they enhance the poem and make it flow.

    Tim-
    Your poem is as beautiful as always. And i think that this is the course that everyone should take though a lot of people these days don't think that way. And Divorce I think is just so stupid. If you said that you would marry someone, then you should stick to it and love them until the day you die. If marriage isn't something that you want then why waste the time and money planning an event that can alter your entire life.Some people could just care less. Well anyways, I loved the poem and great use of rhyming words. And Sarah was right, the last stanza is a little shorter, but I think it still sounds good. Great job and good Luck in the contest!

    XOXO and god Bless,
    Kara

    Well I'm sure more then just one person enjoyed it. I sincerly hope you get exactly what you are looking for in your future, and that she is as dedicated to this as you are. Great poem, the last stanza's lines weren't as long as the others, but otherwise I would say perfect; you got a great message acrossed and displayed great images.

    God Bless

    I don't think this is a bad poem, Tim!
    Great write, you got your message across poetically and I think that's what matters! Rhyming and flow were very good as usually...
    'towait' should be 'to wait' I think
    Keep it up and good luck in the contest!
