The Promise

The promise we made has not gone away even after all we’ve been through

I hurt you so bad but deep down inside you knew it just couldn’t be true

You listened to your heart and stayed strong while the days and weeks went on

Finally you got the answer you prayed for; I was okay, overcome but not gone

The first time we spoke I remembered your voice, sure pleasure to my ears

I told you what happened and explained myself, sharing all my fears

Your heart now is swollen with loving and kindness, waiting for me to see

I long for the moment to hold you close next to me, together for us both to be
