I'm not leaving you,i'm staying right here
when our relationship ends things will change.
but i will not leave you.
i will be gone, but really i'm always going to be with you .
this little memory will remind you how much
i had loved you, and still love you.
that's how it's going to be with us.
will always love each other.
going away is easier then, because everytime
you remember someone who loves you.
you will feel a little bit of their love.
because i'm never going to leave.
will still be together even if we don't see each other.
we will feel love inside.
you will see there won't be enough miles
to make us forget how happy we've been.
nothing can take away your memories.
because i'm never going to leave you.

I researched.
You did not follow the original punctuation to your detriment.
However, poet, thank you kindly for this effort.
This is a poem of a sad farewell. I do agree with Mirth in most ways.
Best wishes, Lyndon of the Winklings.

I liked this one as well. Again, this was very emotional and cuts deep. Lots of passion in this piece. I second the thank you, for allowing us to read the words of this author.

The title seems to be both reiterated and refuted in the rest of the poem. "I will not leave you," "I'm always going to be with you" stands counterpoint to "I will be gone," "we don't see each other," and "when our relationship ends things will change." Sounds as if the teacher is perhaps giving the student a talisman, "this little memory will remind you," "remember someone loves you."
Strikes a chord of both sadness and reassurance of loving memory at a difficult parting.

There is a sadness to these words, because we know we can never last forever, to stay always. But love remains where it has grown with a life it's own that outlasts our days here, until there is no one left to remember. Even then the written words still speak like art to the receptive soul. ~ K
