Please take care and promise me
You'll return, and here you'll be
When the time comes, I want to see
If you'll come through, so promise me.
Thinking of you, I sometimes dream
That we are much more than we seem,
Your promise blessed by heaven's beam,
Then I wake up and have to scream.
Promise me that safe you'll stay,
And when beneath the stars you lay,
You'll think of me, and maybe say
You'll keep your promise to me one day.
I know we're very far apart,
But you've come to stay within my heart.
My memories of you almost like art
And tears that sting so like a dart.
Impossible it seems, to have to do,
Though if anyone can, I know it's you.
So promise me that, and know this too,
No matter the outcome, I love you.
