What is a promise?
A hope? A wish we try to turn into reality?
Or an unbreakable law written on the sky with stardust?
Does breaking it shake the world and destroy what has been there?
Or is it just proof for reality's unavoidable, cruel victory?
I have made promises. Promises I couldn't keep.
Does that make me a liar?
Or just a hopeless dreamer?
I have promised you friendship but couldn't be satisfied with it and took more.
I have promised you to protect you from the world but turned into your death sentence when I made you mine.
I have promised you that my promotion would not come between us but it forced me to propose to a woman I didn't love.
Countless times I have promised you to come over for dinner but my work made me forget that you were waiting.
I have promised you a ship but instead I lost mine in a hurricane along with all I had.
I have promised you to be faithful to you forever but the pain of losing my comission drove me to a deep hell of drinks and whores.
I have promised you to stop hating myself for all I have done to hurt you but failed miserably.
I have promised myself so many times not to let you take me back but I wasn't strong enough to let go of your love and push you away.
But you forgave all my broken promises without a second thought, without sorrow or pain in your eyes. All because of the only promise I ever managed to keep. The only promise that really mattered.
nbsp; I will always love you.
But will you forgive me this time? Will you forgive me for breaking the only promise you have ever asked for?
I will never leave you.
Tell me, Tom... Will you... forgive me for dying... in your arms...
