Promise me

Lilac Ann Black

A promise made so long ago
So fresh within my mind
A written piece of friendship
That’s torn and aged with time

Promise me you’ll never leave
No matter what they say
Promise me we’ll always be
And forever stay this way

Promise me you won’t let go
With a kiss upon my cheek
Hold me tight and let us hope
That time, perhaps, is weak.

Say you’ll love me forever
But only if it’s true
That nothing will tear us apart
Because our love is true

Say this nightmare isn’t happening
But, I will wake to find you here
A promise whispered so soft
And yet my heart is filled with fear.
