There are words you hear at the beginning of your life

Promising you a good life full of happiness and love

There are those words that change the future

Making those first promises almost obsolete

Words that are written in graphite can be erased

However, those written in ink will be here forever

Words you didn't ask to hear

Though your mind keeps them as a journal does

Words will never hurt me

Unless you're studying psychology then you realize they will

Words that build you up but also can break you down

Words that are only yours and mine

Words that are whispered and those that are shouted

All these words are with me until the end

Like the promise of a friend
