I Promise

“I promise I really care”
Running his fingers through her hair
She smiled and thought he’d always be there
But life’s not always fair

“I promise I love you”
He knew there’s nothing she wouldn’t do
She stared up into those deep pools of blue
And did things she can never undo

“I promise you’re the only one for me”
She smiled and was finally happy
Always thinking they were meant to be
But there were things she couldn’t see

“I promise I’ll never let you go”
She loved him more than he’d ever know
He kissed her just like a pro
She was just too naïve to know

“I promise I’ll never forget”
she cries and pleads and yet
he's not even upset
and her heart fills with regret

"You promised......"
