It Started With A Promise

It Started With A Promise It started with a promise A sacred trust we made when we were young. Through happiness and tragedy that Sacred bond enabled both of us to carry on. Standing beside me with your hand in mine You helped me face my darkest days, And your promise you would stay by my side Forever and always. But always did not last and one day I turned around And you were gone. I wondered how i would go through the pain of losing you But I did and managed to carry on To carry on and find another way, To pick up the pieces of shattered dreams And was able to face a new day And now I hear sadly that you had passed on Those memories we shared together are Now only ones I can look back on. I lost that special soul that one I will dearly miss When I think of him and our moments in this lifetime which I often do I fondly remember a friendship and the love that started with a promise.
