Dear Blackbear,
In honor of our sort-of 2 year anniversary, I would like to make you some promises. With God as my witness I will try my absolute hardest to keep them because I know I have made promises like this before. They weren't thought out. They weren't mature. With all that we have gone through, with all that we have held strong through, with all that we haven't let separate us, it's only natural that I feel invincible with you now.
First, I promise to never keep secrets from you. Anything you ever want to know, will come straight up from my heart to your ears whether it be kind or cruel.
Second, I promise to never stop loving you. We may have big fights, and I may be angry at you, but that just means that I'm not willing to give up on you.
Third, I promise to never keep you out of my prayers. This may not mean a lot to you, but it should. I pray fervently every night for your happiness and peace of mind that God might bless your life.
Fourth, I promise to always be content with whatever we have. As long as your still a part of my life somehow, I will always want more, but I will understand if you're happier with somebody else. I just want you to be happy no matter what. If that's without me, I will learn to accept it.
I can't promise you the world yet. I still have some growing up to do. I apologize for everything I have done this past year. I ask your forgiveness for all the tears that I have caused. You are the best thing that could ever happen to me. You have opened doors for me that I may see who I really am when I'm cornered and scared. You have closed those same doors and held me through countless hours of sobbing. No matter how long this letter gets, it will never cover all the compassion you have shown me through thick and thin. Bradley James Clutter, Brad, Sweetie, Stud, Dudley, Pookie...Thank you. Here is a toast to us! for making it through hell and back just like those fairy tales. They made it through because they never lost sight of their love for eachother.

I came upon this by clicking on the random button (my preferred way of selecting work for comment!) It is a very interesting piece... though prose, rather than poetry, and perhaps too focussed on the writer's personal relationship to evoke easily the empathy of the "outside" reader.

Thank you Vera for your comment. I feel as if I should explain myself though lol. I use AP as a sort of complete collection of everything I write. That way everywhere I have internet access, I have my journal or anything to that effect. Feel free to view my poetry (the titles will not start with Dear _______ if it is a poem) if you want. Again, thank you for your input :-].
