Promises

I promise to be honest
I promise to speak the truth
I promise to stay faithful 
I promise I'll always love you
I promise to give you space when you need it
I promise to cuddle you when you don't 
I promise to say what's on my mind
Even when you won't 
I promise that I see beauty through your pain
I promise to hold your hand while you burn
I promise to kiss your scars
About which I care much to learn
Let me untie your knots
Let me gaze into your soul
Let's build a fire from this romance
Blow an ember into coals
