I Promise

by Smriti Sinha
(India)

I promise
to be with you in all the
ups and downs of your life
in love, in sorrow
in joy, in pain
in your beautiful dreams and in your nightmares I'll be there with you
I'll be there with you
to cherish the sweet moments
to console you in your loss
I'll be there with you always
and I promise to be there with you
in health, in sickness
we will sleep together, old, in the warm bed
breathe our last together
be at peace and up in the heavens
we will start another love story.
