Promise
Since this heart has fallen
One goal lay on my mind
To be all I can be, for you
And to prove my love in kind
I carry you with me like a shadow
Thoughts never wandering very far
With every dawn this earth has won
I wish to be right where you are
Promises have been made before
And through your past, many broken
It breaks my heart to hear the pain
In all the words you’ve left unspoken
I know sometimes you catch me
Staring at you, and I quickly turn
Always wondering what you’re thinkin
And if you can see how bright this fire burns
The life I had before we met
I don’t even want to think about
And for the life of me I can’t recall
How I ever did without
My promises you will discover
Are not like all the rest
So before you start to dismiss them
At least put me to the test
I Promise I’ll rub the ache and pain away
From the souls of your feet to your heart
I’ll caress to calm frenzied nerves and anger
Give reason for negativity to depart
I’ll tell you how amazing you are
I’ll tell you how happy you make me
I’ll show you we are not all scum
I’ll show you what wonderful can be
I’ll wrap my arms around you
Every possible chance that I get
You are all I have ever needed
Even when I didn’t know it yet
I’ll kiss you with passion
I’ll melt every time we touch
This might sound like a lot
But sometimes I feel it’s not enough
I’ll catch my breath when you call
And I’ll hate hanging up the line
I’ll never want to say goodbye
My fire burning brighter every time
I’ll get butterflies when I see you
My knees will tremble, I’ll smile
And I’ll calmly keep myself composed
My thoughts wandering to you all the while
I’ll think of you each morning
And each sleep as I close my eyes
And you will flood my dreams each night
Giving sunshine to my skies
These are my promises to you
The ones that I will speak aloud
The rest remain unsaid for now
But silently in my heart are vowed
