Promise

I can't promise you much

Not that I will give you what you need

Or what you want even

Not that I will be able to keep myself together

That I won't break down completely

And hurt you in the process

I can't promise you I'll be here for always

Not even for next year

I can't promise you I will take care of you the way you did of me

Or that I'll be brave like you were

Instead of running away frightened

I wish I could

But I cannot

 

All I can promise you

Is I will try to return all the love you give me

Return it multiplied and warmed up

I will try and face my fears

Even the deepest, darkest ones

And I will do everything I can to make this work

Because never in my life

Have I believed in love more than I do

Now that I love you

And I hope that's enough
