The Promise

When asked to go against your grain Will you cross a river while flooded Will you climb a tree in a thunderstorm Walk over live electric wires Go outside during a tornado Only true love crosses picket lines Faces down an angry crowd Forces open a window to save their love Save me love as I am walking on the wild waves of uncertainty just for you Be my life raft Be my solid shore My sand to the sailor My land to the lost Be my breakfast when hungry and my hat under the scorching sun Be my hand when I fall down and my cake when it isn't even my birthday Be my sunrise on an over cast day You are to me the most precious thing A laugh when I am sad I want to heal all of it for you Eclipse all other past loves I want to be your Mars when you think you can't live on this planet anymore I love you and I hope you find in me a quasar bright enough to outshine the stars you live among We are so close Don't give up now
