"That Promise"

Don't tell me you've forgotten already?
Don't tell me it was all a dream. .
Don't say the touches, the words we said,
Are becoming less than what they seem.
Don't tell me this is fading now.
Don't let it slip away easily like that.
Though the warmth is gone and you're far away,
I promised you, you would get it back.
Don't tell me you don't want the memories.
Don't look at me with those crying eyes.
I'm so sorry--I had no choice, I swear.
But to you, those are just excuses and lies.
Don't forget me, please, I'm begging you,
But don't cry without me there beside you.
I promised you, didn't I, once so long ago?
And somehow I'll make that dream come true.
Don't let go of me so easily just yet,
Because I'm still holding on to you so tightly.
Every breath, every moment, I'm thinking of you.
I won't take back what I said so lightly.
Don't turn your back on me already.
Please, a little more time, and we'll be together.
I swore to you that I would find you again,
And, this time, surely, it will be "forever".
