Seven years of solitude
So seldom does it give
Seven years of solitude
How I wish I could be it

Your wind once blown for me,
A long long time ago,
And like the shadow on the wall
It always had to go.

Seasons change and still I’m here
Never to stray far or near
My heart is true
But what of yours?
I still hear all the doors.

Not mine...a classmates. I'm not fond of it personally. And I had the same thoughts on the fidelity part. Just wanted another opnion. Thanks!

Hey Raymond, who is the poet! you?
Reconsider "Your wind once blown for me," it does not fit well grammatically.
Otherwise, I think he speaker is restating and emphasizing their commitment in a relationship....'Seven years of solitude.'
That's pretty long! and 'Seasons change and still I’m here.' In short the speaker is steadfast or so their allegation states: 'My heart is true.' Curiously though the speaker asks, ' But what of yours?' One suspects that the speaker has been doubting fidelity of the beloved. And by extension, one doubts the credibility of the speaker's claim as being steadfast. The speaker lets the cat out of the bag by this dubious rhetorical question.
The last line is floating and sounds rather nonsensical. It can be deleted.

good luck

The poet may still be committed to realtionship that is no longer or is fading. Paranoid and stalkerish as the last line implies that doors have either closed or are closing on the relationship.
