My Promise To You
I cannot relate to
What's in his view
But I can show him that I care
I can prove to him we're there
But words can't describe
How I feel deep inside
Eight long years we've been friends
With ups and downs and tons of sins
I'm not quite sure we're on the same page
But being best friends definitely left a gauge
I may not have the questions or answers he seeks
Or a house, a car, or stability in just weeks
But I have a big heart and he knows where it goes
For only he's experienced it and nobody else knows
I fear for his life every time we're apart
And wonder what gears are clanking in his heart of hearts
I wonder what thoughts drift in and out of his head
I wonder where he'll be --- will he even have a bed?
I'd do anything for him any day of the week
Everything I think of --- who now will he meet?
If anyone ever hurts him again
Their bright little world will be permanently dimmed
My best friend, lover, and little brother
Will never again never not have a mother
I swear on pain and death I'll be here for him
When you can't hear me, open your ears to the wind
The brightest little star will shine just for us
The first day I met him, he had my full trust
While he's known me, he's always been under my wing
Very soon in fact, he'll also be wearing his very own ring
