Promise


If you tell me this is forever
I'll promise you eternity
If you give me just a second now
I'll express how much you mean to me

If you promise me you'll smile
I promise to smile with you
And when you say that you are crying
Please know I am crying too

When you speak to me of your dreams
Know I dream the same
Know that when you go to sleep
These words will still remain

If you tell me you'll keep looking up
Into the same ceaseless sun,
Ill be here looking up there with you
Forever we'll be one

If you'll let me use your words
To heal my own scars
I'll promise you the greatest song
And ill pick up my guitar

And when you fill your latest page
Of all your pain and sorrows
I promise to be the first one
To try to heal your woes

And if you let me inside your walls
I promise I'll help you tear them down
And if you tell me to leave you alone,
Well, sorry…but I promise to always be around

If you promise to tell me
Every time you need to escape
I promise to run far with you
And make sure you make it back okay

When you cry yourself to sleep at night
Know I'm doing the same
While lying in my lonely bed
Infected with your pain

If you promise to write your worries away;
Put everything aside,
I promise   I'll share my thoughts with you
I swear they'll never hide


If you promise to let me know
When chaos seems to puncture your day
I promise you that no matter what
I'll only be a poem away
