✯ Promises ✯

“Promise me you’ll stay”

Maybe I should have promised that

But I hate making promises

That I cannot keep

“Promise me you’ll try”

I would’ve promised that

But sometimes I lose control

And forget all my promises as I sink away

“Promise me you’ll never give up”

I told you, sometimes there’s no self-control in me

And how can I not give up

When it feels like the right thing to do?

But...

If I ever meet someone

Who is more than just a friend,

As is the case with you,

I will:

♦ Promise to stay ♦

Ignoring the urges to run

♣ Promise to try ♣

Even when the battle isn’t possible to be won

♠ Promise to never give up ♠

No matter how bleak the future looks ahead

I will:

♥ Make thousands of promises ♥

Just to hold on to that extra-special someone
