Promise

My heart beats with vibration, When you start to talk, Each and every spoken word I earnestly discern the meaning, I want to think that it's the truth, But the lie shouts so loud, In your deceitful body language, The sadness that I persistently fight Seems eager to slave me, why does it not go away? In this context, He's the only one who comforts me when I am left alone, Listening although I'm confused, The night that I can't sleep, He's my only soul mate, And never naps even in a moment, Once, I have asked him, Is it possible to snooze on the edge of death? He replies immediately: "My heart will bleed if you will be gone, The day will turn into night, If you're not here by my side". One promise I have made, Even though the moon and the sun become one, I will stay alive, As long as you are there. ?? Translated by Bernard F. Asuncion from Gigi Endraca's Pangako
