I promise you,
I promise you that this time,
I'll be perfect.
*I know you only tell me lies,
but I love you so much that I'll force myself to believe them.*
I will remember you,
I will remember you in those fractions of moments between the past and present and the present and future,
where the concept of time is irrelevant.
*This will be the last time I **** you without telling you how much I hate you.*
I will find you,
I will find you where some part of you still exists.
I keep it in a box under my bed.
*Even after all these years,
all the progress that I've made melts away every time I see you.*
I will run to you,
I will run to you until my addiction incapacitates me,
but at least I’ll know that I had a reason.
*The skin that was scarred because of you has finally been shed.
I am ready to try again.*
I promise you,
I promise you that this time,
I'll be perfect.

I promise you,
I promise you that this time,
I'll be perfect.
*I know you only tell me lies,
but I love you so much that I'll force myself to believe them.*
I will remember you,
I will remember you in those fractions of moments between the past and present and the present and future,
where the concept of time is irrelevant.
*This will be the last time I **** you without telling you how much I hate you.*
I will find you,
I will find you where some part of you still exists.
I keep it in a box under my bed.
*Even after all these years,
all the progress that I've made melts away every time I see you.*
I will run to you,
I will run to you until my addiction incapacitates me,
but at least I’ll know that I had a reason.
*The skin that was scarred because of you has finally been shed.
I am ready to try again.*
I promise you,
I promise you that this time,
I'll be perfect.
