~*~I Promise~*~

~Will I always be there for you?

When you need someone, Will I be that one you need?

Will I do all my best to, to protect you?

When the tears get near your eyes

Will I be the one that's by your side?

Will I be there when you call me in the middle of the night?

Will I keep the rain from falling down into your light?~

I pulled her close to my chest.

I wanted to make everything she ever feared, everything that hurt her, everything that caused her pain...to just go away.

I hope I can do this.

I have to do this.

I think I've done it so far....

~I promise, I promise

I promise I will~

She has always been there for me.

Picking me up when I've fallen.

Keeping me going when I stop.

And never given up....on me....

cold.

uncaring.

distant.

me.

But she knew how I really was, deep down.

She took the time out for me, to find me.

And I've never stopped loving her.

~Yeah

And I love you more every day

And nothing will take that love away

When you need someone

I promise I'll be there for you

I promise~

She's been through so much. Lost so much.

Yet, so have I.

But I let it consume me, change my being.

I became incapable of love.

Yet she did the opposite.

She kept with me though I've been practically impossible.

She pulled me out of depression.

She saved me.

~Will I take tender tender care of you?

Take your darkest night and make it bright for you

Will I be there to make you strong and to lean on?

When this world has turned so cold

Will I be the one that's there to hold?~

And, yet, I wonder...is she happy?

Is she happy with me?

~Will I be there when you call me in the middle of the night?

Will I keep the rain from falling down into your light?~

I pulled her even closer to me, if that was possible.

A soft smile played upon her lips, and a subtle moan of contentment came from my wife's lips.

I stroked my hand over her enlarged stomach that was "with-child".

Even pregnant she was still beautiful.

I grazed my rough hand over her delicate cheek...

Her smile widened and she leaned into me.

~I promise, I promise

I promise I will~

Yeah...she was happy.

And I would do anything to keep my Rain that way.
