I have been loving you in secret
I see you more than I show
I cannot get you out of my mind
I burn for you, though no one knows

You have said that you love me
I know this to be true
But you are too young and innocent
I cannot trust myself with you

I have made myself a promise
To God, I made a vow
To keep myself pure for marriage
So I can’t be with you now

You tempt me beyond my convictions
My heart, I fear will bust
You’ve penetrated my very being
Dear God, deliver me from this lust

I long to know you better
As a husband knows his wife
But first we should marry
And make this for life

I can wait for you my darling
In your absence and my despair
Will you wait for me dear lover
For your age to meet us here

Oh the waiting is tough for sure, but so very worth it!  I loved this poem and you did an excellent job with your rhyming.
