The Promise (Acoustic)

In the guise of boyish charm, I hide A heart that yearns for more than a friend Dress in his shadow, hoping he'll abide With the promise we made, our youthful blend The moonlit night, a bond was cast In childhood innocence, we held fast Now grown, the words he can't recall Tear at my soul, a silent call The promise, our unbreakable vow How could he let it fade somehow? Years of friendship, a fading dream That one night, an eternal beam What can I do to reignite? To show him what was once so bright? Oh, please, let us keep our promise true And let the love we shared come through Fury grips my heart, a bitter pill As he laughs with others, his attention still Should I change my ways, a desperate plea? Or hold the line, true to me? The memory lingers, a bittersweet pain Of promises made, and love's refrain But doubt creeps in, a cruel deceit Is this a bond he won't repeat? The promise, our unshakeable word Why does it now seem so absurd? All those years, we stood side by side Now shadows fall, and the light has died What can I do to bring him back? To the love we once shared, untracked? Oh, please, let us honor what we knew And let the promise light our way anew I dressed for him, a desperate plea In hopes he'd see the love I bear But not a glance, not a care My heart, a shattered symphony The meeting spot, a test of fate Does he recall the bond we create? If this is mockery, I'll break But then, he appears, a revelation In his eyes, the promise reawakes From hate and fury, a new dawn breaks He kept the vow, a heartache quakes I was the fool, the one who strayed He never wavered, in love arrayed I love him, and together we'll stay From the promise he kept, forever enshrined
