A promise is a promise.
Only a lie can be made
with an expiration date in mind.
You and I
are the sand and sea,
we will always keep coming
back to one other.
You and I
are the trees of eternal spring,
we shall never leave.
Not every day is remembered
as special or significant,
not every word spoken between us
is Hallmark worthy.
But love is never absent
and what is shared
never forgotten.
Alone we are
merely ordinary,
together we are considerable,
whether it’s sharing ice cream
or each other’s
aches and pains.
The road we traverse,
hand-in-hand,
may be covered with obstacles & illusions,
but the horizon
is hardly false.
For look!
God himself smiles upon us.
These vows are indeed
of an endless variety...

A promise is a promise.
Only a lie can be made
with an expiration date in mind.
You and I

we will always keep coming
back to one other.
You and I

we shall never leave.
Not every day is remembered

not every word spoken between us

But love is never absent
and what is shared

Alone we are

together we are considerable,
whether it’s sharing ice cream
or each other’s

The road we traverse,
hand-in-hand,
may be covered with obstacles & illusions,
but the horizon

For look!
God himself smiles upon us.
These vows are indeed
