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
