I think I haven't left you because of that promise I made when we eloped and I married you, wearing a lovely sundress that flowed around me,

 I had you looking at me like I was your soulmate, 

the sun as the witness of our love and the Hawaiian sea as the friends and family that embraced us in their waves of acknowledgment. 

Who was I supposed to look to when I promised to forsake all others in the name of the God whom you so deeply believed in?

If you hadn't realised your faith was one of the many reasons why I fell in love with you. You would always say you had enough faith and trust in God for the both of us. 

Yet here I am trying to find not only the faith in myself but also in you 'cause God only knows whether we will make it through another fight, another punch or whether that promise I made was as invalid as your forgotten faith.
