Promises

Submitted by rebecca_v on October 24, 2007 - 18:13.

I want you to know
That I am who I am
And I’m not
Going to change
For anyone.

I want you to know
That of all the people in the world
I will
Never
Have a favorite.

I want you to know
That I care about you
But you’re not the only
Person
In my world.

I want you to know
That I will never cheat
And I will only lie
When I know
You won’t want to know the truth

And I promise you
That I’ll always love you
Even when you make me mad.

Now what do you
Promise me?

Amazing

Alas, I have noting to promise, or rather I won't. I won't promise. It is my motto, because I don't want to hurt anyone.
I love your poem.
