Your Promise
I waited a long time
Many times after you said goodbye
When was your last goodbye?
When you said it out of time
I stayed a long time
Too many times after you disappeared
You left me alone in no time
Even when you said everything are all cleared
I believed in you all the time
In all things you showed me
I believed in your precious time
In many times you swayed me
I will believe you for all time
Because I love you the way you are
I will love you for all time
Because you are a promise that you are
I never asked you to promise me
To be with me all my life
But you reneged your word to me
Leaving me all my life
Now you are coming back
Making me believe you are still the same
How can I love you back
Make myself believe you are not in shame?
Many years passed and wasted
You have forgotten me
Through the years I waited
You have forsaken me
Tell me now
Are you a real promise I must keep?
I kept you from then 'til now
Are you the real one I loved deep?
