I promise...
I promise not to think about you again
I promise not to remember any good memories
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €we shared for a moment of time
I promise not to look at our pictures
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €that reminds me of those times
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €where we were genuinely laughing
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €at something so immature
I promise to look for someone
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €who is far from who you are
I promise
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €to forget everything
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €to forget the happiness I've felt
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €to forget the pain you gave
but I also promise
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €to not only forget you
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €but also to thank you
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €for being one of the promises, I came to love
people come and go, and sometimes you don't expect yourself to love that person who unexpectedly came and suddenly left
