Promises are just another fancy way to say “I love you”
Humanity tends to come up with things
When life isn’t the multicoloured something new every day affair
That we all want it to be
And promises are just one of them
When I say “I promise to love you forever”
It’s simply me saying
I’ll be around when you need me
When friends just can’t seem to be found
When the world seems like a dark and empty place
When I say “I promise to never make you cry”
It’s really just me saying
You mean the world to me
Your sorrow is something
That even my dreams just can’t seem to perceive
When I say “ I promise to hug you and kiss you every day”
It’s just me saying
When you are around me
I can’t keep my eyes and hands off you
When I say “I promise to go places
Like Venice
Or the tunnel of love
With you someday”
It’s only me saying
I wouldn’t even want to go to those places
Unless I was holding your hand
And when I say” I promise to let you go
With a smile on my face
If that is what you want”
It’s me saying
Your happiness is a hundred times more important than mine
So you see
Promises are not really that big of a deal
They just express the truth
