The Promise of Reunion: An unattainable Love Poem About Waiting and Grace

Introduction

This unattainable love poem is called “The Promise of Reunion.” I was in love with the idea of being patient and I promised myself to be. I convinced myself that waiting would turn into longing. My waiting would change into something bitter-sweet. It would make me cry and I would not understand where these tears would come from. I asked myself questions that had no answers. Can love keep a promise? Can two people fulfill a bond that has been tested in this way?

I spoke about gods and goddesses in my poem. I mentioned heaven and hell, divine grace, and a heavenly kingdom. I spoke of the deity of love, testing hearts before meeting with two souls. Heaven is waiting for me. The poem says, and so am I. This is how it feels to fall in love forever. To promise love to someone despite grief and silence. If you are waiting for the other to choose you, this poem will be your promise.

The poem

The Promise OF Reunion

They say they’ll love, like the gods love their goddess,

But their love is far beyond what we can process.

I asked:

Can you endure the fires of hell?

Can you bear the pain, the stories they tell?

Can you stand the sting of harsh critique?

Or carry the weight of the unjust we seek?

The tears of God have fallen, unseen,

Yet who are we, lost in this vast dream?

Love is a name, a living soul.

The feeling made the creator cry,

Lost in sense, just waiting by.

Will you wait for me, through time and space?

Will you be loyal, in every place?

Will you pass the tests that lie ahead,

To earn the future we both have dreamt and said?

The feeling kept inside, yet shown through destruction,

Let the distance remain, a silent introduction.

Let heaven and hell unite to bring us near,

Let paradise sing, its melody clear.

Until then, let’s wait, in patience and grace,

For the day when time will bring us face to face.

Like the gods who’ve lost their partner’s grace,

They waited, knowing love would find its place.

Through every trial, every tear they shed,

They held on, for love’s promise ahead.

So, I’ll wait for you, with hope unbroken,

For the day our hearts will finally be woken.

Background

This poem was created as a promise. I had feelings for someone who unfortunately, never decided to initiate contact. I waited and prayed that he would. But he never did. So, I waited for him to make a move to contact me. Wait for him to choose me. Wait for his love. But then, waiting became too much for me.

My patience turned into yearning. Yearning turned into sorrow. I began to feel sorry for myself. Putting so much faith and trust into a person made me realize he never considered those feelings. There were tears I didn’t expect. I thought I would never stop waiting for him to finally do something. I thought the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was always a train coming at me full speed. I started wondering if the feeling was even love or just blind hope or simply fate testing me the quiet ache of loving someone who felt completely unattainable.

So, I started writing down all my questions, doubts, and thoughts regarding the subject. Then, “The Promise of Reunion” was born, my own unattainable love poem. It talks about Gods and Goddesses, Heaven and Hell. Divine love and grace, and an eternal, sacred paradise that awaits us all. But it’s all a reflection of my thoughts on waiting and unrequited love, and the grief of loving someone who wouldn’t choose me back.

In the poem, I mention a God of Love, who tests the hearts of two lovers before allowing them to meet again. I made this poem my personal promise of reunion. My personal promise of love. A promise of me choosing myself over the person who broke my heart.

If you are still waiting for someone to choose you, then this poem is for you. If you’ve felt this same ache once love finally speaks back, you may also connect with “My Beloved” — a poem about eternal love once the waiting ends. This idea of two souls sharing one soul essence, reuniting as a path toward deeper self-understanding, is a concept discussed mostly in spiritual and self-help circles you can read more on The Attachment Project.
