Oh my boy I though I loved
The thought of you does linger
So distinct and yet as faint
As the fair line on my finger
Protected by the burning sun
By the promise of your heart
Never thinking it would see the day
That we would grow apart
There did sit that ring of yours
The same spot every day
Until you left me for the coast
The sea took you away
To leave me here
-but where is here?
For I am nowhere without you near
And so I sit, I sit and wait
For the time to come
That you may remember me and maybe come back home
But now that band remains to me
An unforgiving token
Of a promise that was made of us
A promise that was broken.
