Promises..

Promises. 

lets talk about promises.

arent they a bit ominous?

they scare me. 

put pressure on me.

i mean, what if i break it?

Does that mean we cant make it?

Because, you see

to me, promises.

theyre a bond, something im trusting you with. 

Promises. They mean a lot to me.

Whether they mean anything to you,

i dont know.

how bout you tell me?

If you break one, 

how do i know you wont do it again?

You promise, but you broke the one that meant so damn much to me.

How bout think before you act?

Yea, that sounds grand.

but, its fine, im not mad.

just upset.

say its bout time,

promises make a stand.
