A Promise To Be Yours
I see us in the future,
walking hand in hand towards our destiny.
I'm leading the way, forging a path.
I turn to make sure you're keeping up with me.
What was once a dreary promenade of turmoil
has become a clear, direct route
connecting our hearts with a shared vein,
our blood begins to boil.
So much love in this lifetime
that means nothing to us now...
Only love for each other, and love for the journey,
the destination means nothing, somehow.
We're taking the scenic route,
torturing ourselves...
I call it necessary drama,
you think I'm putting your love up on my shelf...
With my collection of other broken hearts,
like you're the star of my show.
How could you ever think that?
It's obvious you don't know...
You can't comprehend my love,
or you'd understand how it hurts me to say goodbye.
We've been through a long and trying endeavor,
you and I.
Yesterday, tomorrow, for the rest of my life,
till the very end, from the promising start,
but mostly tonight as I lie here alone,
only cold in my heart.
Do I miss you, shall I miss you,
will I call out for you in my dreams?
I surely care for you, and I intend to come back to you,
no matter how grim it seems.
It's unfair and selfish
to keep you waiting around,
but right now I am incapable of treating you
like the fallen angel that I first found.
Never a tear shed
from those so-called frozen, hidden eyes,
I come along, and with the help of the holiday
I melt the ice with all of your "if's" and "why's."
We'll find our way out
of the hazy confusion with time.
For now, I swear to you that I love you,
and someday, I'll make you mine.
