ever since the day
i met you
instantaneously
       i feared losing you
you gave me something
i could only compare
       with a woman in my past
who saved my life
the way
       you have too

Cross my heart
i miss you
       i don't say it lightly
it comes from the heart
i just crossed
        for you

hand on heart
can you hear
       it beats for you
it fears you leaving
i'm already
      coming undone

you're too beautiful
for a woman come
      undone, allow me
to hold you near
trust in my
      embrace
holding you close

if i let you close
you'll only hurt
       my already broken misfit
heart,
i love forever & for always
i'm left so easily
      i feel like a stray

my darling girl how could
you ever so
       devalue your life
i promise to stay
lower that sky high
wall
      i promise

you promise?*

i promise
