Promise

Promise to kiss me like Prince Charming. And when the shoe doesn't fit, Promise to love me like Lolita. And I'll Promise to sweep up the ashes when the oceanic Heaven in your eyes is scorched by what could've been. Promise to keep the urn of our almost eternal flame on your mantle. And when you get lonely, Promise to spread me on your bed sheets. And I'll Promise to rise from the cinders to make your heart flutter the way it did when you first Promised to love me.

Notes

You don't need a ring to make a promise,

and it'd probably make this easier

if you took yours off.
