She Promised

She promised to stay, probably forever, and I can tell you that even though that was the last time you saw her, she never broke that promise. You see, she keeps an exit clause in every agreement, miles in between every body that's ever pressed against hers. She promised to love you, probably with everything inside of her, and even though she never said it again, she never broke that promise either. The only way she knows how to love is from miles away, so that her sadness could never bleed into the veins of the people who mean the most to her, so that she's never close enough to turn the gardens in people's hearts into graveyards. The only way she knows how to love is from far enough away that she cant destroy it.
