I won't make promises I can't keep. I can't promise that I'll love you forever, or that I'll never hurt you I can't promise to stay forever, or to always be good to you I can't promise to tell you all my secrets, or to explain what I'm feeling all the time But there are some things I can promise. I promise to try my hardest to stay with you. I promise to push through the doubt and fear, and tell you when I'm scared. I promise that I love you, right here, right now. I guess that'll have to do.

I Promise
I won't make promises I can't keep. I can't promise that I'll love you forever, or that I'll never hurt you I can't promise to stay forever, or to always be good to you I can't promise to tell you all my secrets, or to explain what I'm feeling all the time But there are some things I can promise. I promise to try my hardest to stay with you. I promise to push through the doubt and fear, and tell you when I'm scared. I promise that I love you, right here, right now. I guess that'll have to do.
We were talking about the future, and I told him I can't make promises of forever, and he actually felt relived, because now if something happens, we aren't going back on our word.
