I Can Promise You:
Since that special day of 11/23
I always knew we would be able to rise
I can finally see you’re the only one for me
Baby I can promise you there will be no lies
Get ready, cause I ‘m going to give you all my love
My love is the type you will never get sick of
Baby do you know I love it when you smile
But it’s always good to see you mad once in a while
You know I am not like all those other guys
You and I, baby nothing can really compare
We are never going to have to say goodbye
I am going to give you tender loving care
I am telling you to trust me with your heart
I can promise you, I will never tear it apart.
You wrote this to me almost four years ago on my 14th birthday. It is absolutely astonishing how we are still so in love til this day, even through our adversities. Even through our breakups and time apart, you didn’t give up. You kept fighting for me. You never stopped loving me. You rescued me from my misery; after I let you go I abhored myself for so long. I knew it was a mistake. And the second time, I knew it then, too. You and I are proof that second, or third, chances DO work. I was asleep when we were apart. You awakened me. You made me realize I’d been faking a smile so long that I’d almost fooled myself. You showed me how beautiful life could be -would be- now with you. Falling in love with you is the second best thing that has happened to me. Finding you was the first. That game, that football game that changed everything: the first time we spoke, the first time we laughed together, the first time we knew what a great thing this could be. That game when they finally won for the first time in years. That game where everything changed for them. And us. I found you; you found me. We found each other and we discovered love. True love. You kept your promise when everyone I depended on broke theirs.
Thank you.
