Yakusoku No Koibito

As I get down on my knees before you and present your ring It signifies my life starting anew Knowing that you would take it from me happily agreeing Creating a new covenant that we both agree to keep My special promise… To you… From this day forward… My love… Is to forever remain with you From now through the remaining days of our life together I will cherish every moment spent with you I know hard times will plague us but I still retain my faith I believe my vow to you will remain just the same as When we said… “I do…” “And forever I’ll always… Love you…” That vow will never change When you smile you bring out the pureness inside of me And when you cry, your tears is like a beautiful waterfall Through your happiness and pain I’ll still remain here with you And soon enough my promise to you… Will be complete… And I know that the final part of my promise may seem… Rather hard… But you are strong and I believe that you will help me… Fulfill it… I know that there are many doubts that at times plague my mind But I know that you will always remove such things I also know that I will feel too powerless to do anything However, I know that if I believe in you I will Make it through… somehow And I’ll smile once… again… All because of what you do The second half of my promise may seem a little hard And also it may seem long if unlucky I won’t be leaving you permanently, for I’ll be waiting Waiting for you to join me soon in the afterlife Because I can’t… Go on… Not with you… Beside me… My life without you is meaningless Always know that after I leave you temporarily That at my gravestone I sit there looking at my watch When you are alone with the children, I’ll be there Watching over all of you and making sure you’re safe Always know that my spirit will never fade as long As you believe… So don’t let your happiness fade throughout your life For I promise you… I’m waiting for you! When you smile you bring out the pureness inside of me And when I look at our children, I see it in them too
