I promise I will hold your heart forever next to mine
and chase the demons from the darkest corners of your mind
I'll never leave you sad alone, or standing in the rain
I'll never keep you up at night, or cause you any pain

I'll kiss you under cloudy skies and understand your worth
and gaze into your starry eyes and notice all the hurt
I'll elevate your life always, I'll keep you in the clouds
I promise I won't clip your wings to keep you on the ground

I promise I will always fight for what our hearts believe is right
I promise often to embrace your full, sweet lips upon my face
I'm down until you make me stop enjoying you to the last drop
and promise I will always keep a fascination with your sleep
and that as long as I'm alive to make the effort, make the time
I promise I will hold your heart forever next to mine

I am a lover

of beauty,
of words,
of animals,
of nature,
of life,
of death,
and of the chaos that life brings

I savor every moment,
be they bitter or sweet,
ripe or rancid

my heart guides me,
but I still try to use my head

but I am also a fighter

ready to risk it all at a moment's notice
for those that I believe in
