    Promise Me

    2005

    Promise me you’ll not forget anything we’ve shared
    Promise me that you’ll reach out even when you’re scared
    Promise me you’ll not regret anything you’ve said
    Promise me that you’ll learn from every path we tread

    Promise me you’ll not give up until you’re flying free
    Promise me that you’ll explore wondrous worlds with me
    Promise me you’ll not forsake your faith in Neverland
    Promise me you’ll dream of us walking hand in hand

    Promise me you’ll not destroy fragile bonds of trust
    Promise me you’ll always speak the honest truth you must
    Promise me you’ll not believe in stereotypes that scar
    Promise me that you’ll perceive how beautiful you are

    Promise me you’ll not desert the passion of love’s way
    Promise that you’ll fly with me forever come what may
    Promise me all of these things, but be always aware
    My biggest fear remains that I will damage what is rare
