"Promises"

I can’t promise you the world,
But I can promise you forever.
Even through the thick and thin,
Our hearts will sync together.
I can’t promise you eternity,
But I can promise you my hand.
I can be a friend, a shoulder to cry on,
And help you understand.

So what is a promise you ask?
Well, a promise is a sacred task.
It is something that lasts till the end of time,
To break one is the ultimate crime.
Only the best of friends make these pacts,
They are meant to be forever intact.

So when our time comes to an end,
Please don’t ever forget
That I will always be your friend.
