A Promise Made Through Time

The strength to carry on;
The courage to let go
Embracing who I am and my faults-
These abilities were given to me by you

No longer am I ashamed
No longer do I fear what lies ahead
Although far apart, I know that one day soon
My unrequited wishes will reach you across the gap of time

If the distant future is dim with doubt
I’ll give it my all to bring in a light
Don’t let me do this alone- I need you by my side

I’ll smile. I’ll dream. I’ll embrace.
But I won’t hide my true ambitions anymore
I don’t want to become another faded memory-
You’ll always hold a treasured place in my heart

Something as simplistic as a soft melody
Can revive an emotion thought to have been lost
And grant a new vision to a dream long forgotten
Let’s find this new day, you and I

The past is past, and the future is unknown
Scars are forever a reminder of what has been
Hand-in-hand, we will be each other’s vim and vigor
And walk forward without one glance behind us

Please believe me when I say these words to you
I have never doubted you for a moment
The feelings I have are not artificial-
I believe in love

We’ll do this together
We promised, right?
