Our Promises

Folder: 
2017

Awake, asleep.

 

I close my eyes better with your head on my shoulder,

I still don’t promise.

 

Late nights, early mornings.

 

I shake and I can’t stop smiling,

you’re half awake and still twice as beautiful.

 

Something, nothing.

 

I look over at their promises,

maybe in half a breath they could be mine.

 

I want to, I won’t.

 

I would choose in a heartbeat

to break my heart with you.

 

We have said too many times we will not promise,

these are our promises.
