I only pray
You keep your promise
To never leave
My broken soul
I know its hard
I know i'm not easy to love
But say with me
Until our pictures are old
And there fraying at the edges
After all that was your promise
You swore you would stay with me
Even when its hard
Because the sadness from you
Abandoning me is a sadness
I could never recover from

I was promised
too many things
all at once
That when they broke it
one by one
I didn't notice
until it was all gone

You said forever... but still left me drowning in my own fears.
I tried to reach out through the pain and the dark just to hold you so near.
Please tell me you loved me at least once before you disappear.


Consumed in my sorrow and my longing for you just to hold you so near.
I tried and I tried to hold on to you just to keep you so near.
But like all good things it all has to end so the memories of you disappear.


You said forever... but we still lost it all, no matter how much we tried to keep it all together.
Now I'm here and you're there... Both alone in our sorrows wondering where we went so wrong.


You said forever... But I guess forever had a timeline for you, I waited for you to realise what you had right in front of you.
I would have done everything for you, given you my all, even laid down my life for you.


But as they say... All good things must eventually come to an end.
And I realised that giving up my all for you just wasn't enough  to make you stay and keep your promise of forever and a day.

Do you remember that night we spent together?
Laid there on the bed holding hands and cuddling so close together?
We were looking up at the fairy lights strung up above us, twinkling in the dark like a thousand stars shining down on us.


We looked at each other with adoring eyes, felt the taste of your lips full of lies on mine.
We held each other as if we could never let go. Felt your heart beating so fast along with mine.


But I wish I knew back then that the magic wouldn't last, I held on longer than I knew I should have.


I touched your face as I looked in your eyes and you whispered I love you and I believed your sweet lie, you then took my hand by surprise and slipped a ring on my finger.


A promise you said of our future together, a future we tried to build not once or twice but three times. I took your ring and believed every word you said, how was I to know back then that every word was never meant.


I tortured myself believing that this love was true, only to realise in the end that I lost myself giving all my love to you.


Now I look at that ring and wear it around my neck in a chain, not as a reminder of you but as a sign of hope that one day I'll finally be okay and that the love I gave you was never meant for you, it was meant for me all along that one person who mattered the most and became forgotten just to love you.
