Promises
She will always hold a place
special in my heart
Even though, in the end
we have grown apart.
A first love so strong and dear
that lasted so very long
But it seems, as fate believes
her and I don’t belong.
And though it hurts deep inside
I know I can move on
Because, though that love ended
my heart is not gone.
Hear me when I tell you this
my words are firm and true
Give me your hand, and your heart
and let me prove I love you.
You stood beside me
through the bitter fights
The sickening end, my cries
near death that caused you fright.
I know I always speak of her
it seems I love her more
But she was all I ever had
or so it felt before.
I promise you when I say
all my heart is to you
And all my love and dedication
goes to you, through and through.
Listen to the words I speak
I know it’s nothing new
But open your ears, and your heart
and let me prove I love you.
Countless days and countless night
my heart and eyes ached.
Deteriorating in despair
as I let my heart and psyche break.
Starving from the sickening pain
and tearing myself away
You stood by, loyal as could be
and watched over me day by day.
Blind, I couldn’t see the truth
the love you showed to me
But now, let me prove to you
that your love, I can see.
Hear out my feeble plea
I promise I’m almost through
but open your soul, spread your wings
and let me prove I love you.
