She always said to never make promises.
"Promises can be shattered and heartache takes its place.
Please, lets never promise anything for my own selfish sake."
Silence came over the lovers,
as the last words were spoken.
Nothing else was said,
as that promise became unbroken.
Soon Christmas had come
and the lovers gathered together to open their presents.
When there was none left to open, and all seemed complete,
the girl reaches behind her; to give her love one last treat.
Smiling at the girl, the boy began to open the unknown.
A simple frame he held, with only words to be shown.
The girl nestles behind him to hold him dear,
as he read out loud what had been her fear.
I Promise to love you
as long as time can be
and ever after if you will allow me.
I Promise you honesty
even if it strains your heart.
To keep secrets from you could tear us apart.
And I promise you friendship,
for friendship there should be.
Allow me to cry on your shoulder,
and I will let you lean on me.
Then together we may hold hands
and walk through the gardens of bliss,
creating more blossoming Promises
with each loving kiss.
