Promise Ring

August 15, 2017

No promises I promise

But just to let you know,

That promises aren't something to be afraid of,

Because I don't promise to people I don't love.

Promises did nothing but hurt you,

Trust me I know.

But I promise this is not the case but if you run you'll never know.

I promise I won't propose too early but just know I have plans with you in them,

With diamonds and houses and shrubs and arguments about trips to the store.

My intentions are purer than our white picket fence,

I'm sorry- I don't want to scare you away but I don't use the word 'until',

I actually prefer 'since'.

I want to know if this is real

Or if it will last,

Because you don't believe 'forever' exists.
