I Promise


Because I love you, I promise I will buy you flowers on our anniversary,

Because I love you, I promise I will hold your hand during that scary movie.

Because I love you, I promise to always be the shoulder you cry on.

Because I love you, I promise no matter what fight we have I’ll still love you.

Because I love you, I promise to never hurt you like he once did.

Because I love you, I promise to help you strive for success.

Because I love you, I promise to help you through this loss.

Because I love you, I promise to never be the reason you don’t go for what you want.

Because I love you, I promise it is okay to go to that college that is hours away.

Because I love you, I promise it is okay you are studying with that new friend.

Because I love you, I promise it is okay that you are becoming distant.

Because I love you, I promise it is okay that you have met someone else.

Because I love you, I promise that I am sorry I couldn’t give you the world.

Because I love you, I promise that I am sorry I am letting you go.

Because I love you, I promise you will one day change the world.

Because I love you, I promise you will make someone else as happy as you made me.

Because I love you, I promise I am happy you found peace in a world that is so dark.

Because I love you, I promise I am happy for you.

But most of all.

Because I love you, I promise I’ll always love you.
