rosy freckled cheeks
and a smile i never thought would fade.
tears filled my eyes as you asked me the question
i was hoping to hear.
june 25th was that day.

seven words
that ended up promising forever and eternity.
i was scared that promise would break.
you promised me you didn’t break promises.
and i believed it.

and on december 7th
two promises were broken.
promises do get broken sometimes
but it just hurts to know
that this was one of them.

and it will hurt for a long time.
