Promises Poem, by Brie, at My poetic side

I can't promise you perfection

I can't promise you forever

I can promise you love

I can promise you happiness

Some say the best promises are the ones you can't keep

For me, the best are the ones you can

I can't promise you lies,

Only because I promise you truth

I can't promise you betrayal,

Only because I promise you loyalty

I'd never break these swears

I promise you that

Will you keep yours?

These aren't vows

These are words that hold us together

Vows are for forever

And like I said,

I can't promise you forever

Promises
