Promise By the River
We both made a promise yet neither to keep
It's easier to break than remain
Bound by words and a loving connection
None of that matters anymore
It was all fantasy
You know it better than I
When it was over you mentioned a river
A river flows and moves on
Isn't it funny where we made our promise?
Beside that river where we searched for hours
We held hands and stared into our souls
You began the promise
Promise me whatever problems we face
Whatever comes our way we will fix
I loved you
So I promised with you
The love we felt together was real
More real than anything
Before you I wouldn't consider marriage
I would save your first kiss until we were there
A year later a problem emerged
Your emotions engaged to someone new
I reminded you of our promise
Your response an analogy of a river
I was powerless
In the end we both broke this promise.
