Promises

“Promises”
If you be the song
I’ll be the dance.
A love can be born
If given the chance.
If you be the river
I’ll be the sea.
That way, my love,
You run into me.
If I be the windows
You be the doors;
A house built on love
Is a home that endures.
If I make you a promise
to give this a try,
will you make me a promise,
to never ever lie?
If I give you my all
Will you in turn do the same?
For this is my heart;
this is not a game.
For the promises I make
are promises I keep.
I’m offering my very best
So, the very best I seek.
