Promises I Can Keep

I wish I could promise everything.

But I can't.

 I know what I would promise,

But not if I could keep it.

If I could promise anything,

I'd promise to...

...never pick a fight.

...never make you feel abandoned.

...never let my own annoyances spill onto you.

...never make you feel neglected.

...never let you feel taken for granted.

But I'm not perfect,

And I am sure I will have bad moments.

So instead I will promise this:

That I will work good as I can-

...to apologize when I'm wrong...

...to show you that I appreciate you...

...to remind you that I support you...

...to make you feel secure...

...to give you patience...

...to love you...

-because that is what you deserve.
