A PROMISE

we sat by the lake,
watching the beautiful sunset
the golden sky,
oh how it made me cry...
the very thought of separation
uncertain of our reunion.

he held me close
his sparkling brown eyes filled with remorse,
a thousand words they spoke
the pain hidden underneath,
that cheerful face of his
to take them all i dearly wished.

he said distance is just a test
like a vast sea
where we're the two islands,
a solemn promise he made to me..
fear not my love,
for everyday i will send you
a thousand ships of emotions.
