P r o m I s e

The first time I met you,

I hardly remembered you,

The second time I met you

I remembered your name

The third time I met you

There was something inside about you and me which were the same

For several years

Whether you were wrong or right

I supported you the whole way

Inside, I felt something that no one else did

The bond between us that no one can separate

We made a promise

That forever

No matter what comes between us

We'll break it though

With the faith

And trust we have

This promise, will it be broken?

All we can say now is that it won't,

But who knows

In the future

Something might come along

Strong enough to tear us

It could even be something simple

But for now

It's the present

And we'll let time

Makes it way through our path

The person I know

Who is always concerned

Is standing right beside me

Walking up the path with me

Placing their dreams beside me

And most of all

Hanging their shadow over mine
