My Promise
I made myself some promises
the last time you broke my heart
I made myself some promises
when you tore my world apart
I told myself I was done,
I told myself we’re through
But every time I see your face
I go running back to you
I made myself some promises
that I’d be a stronger man
I told myself you’re evil
not to give in to your plan
I told myself to walk away
that loving you was a sin
But every time you call my name
I falter once again
My heart begins to quiver
at the mention of your name
I know in my heart and soul
I’m the one to blame
I act like everything is well-
that things will be just fine
Yet spend the hours of my day
still wishing you were mine
I think of you and call your name
1000 times a day
I know the love I have for you
will NEVER fade away
I understand you question this
so let me tell you why
There was a time when I saw myself
as just another guy
I felt I was unworthy -
that no one cared at all
But then you came into my life
and got me standing tall
You showed me I was worthy
to be loved by one like you
You restored my faith, believed in me
and gave me life anew
I alone know the truth
of what you did for me
You opened up my heart
and set my spirit free
My head is up and I’m smiling
as I walk now with such pride
Remembering how you kissed my lips
and walked here at my side
You see it made a difference
to be loved so much by you
I know you know I loved you
and I know you loved me too
But now the time has come
we must go our separate ways
We can’t go on pretending
these aren’t our final days
It doesn’t mean I don’t love you
because I know I always will
I love you in totality
and today I feel it still
How can I ever thank you
for the love you sent my way
How can I forgive you
for the pain you’ve made me pay
You changed my world
you shook it hard-
you turned it upside down
You strutted by while knowing
I could see right through your gown
To kiss your lips
to hold you close
my heart did race so fast
So often I am I questioning
why could our time not last
Yes........ I am intoxicated and forever bound with the magic of you...my muse. .....my true Love
......and......I wish things could have been........forever.
Thus my prayer — This be but
“ so-long “
For I will always love you ....
.............Always.........
