& I'm just a girl.

Promise.

I can promise you the sun will rise, 

I can promise you there is still time,

I can promise you the wind will blow, 

I can promise you so much more.

But my hands are to little to hold so many things, 

So I will give you but a few hoping much happiness for them to bring.

I promise you my love; something eternal to keep,

I promise you the fears harbored that have made me weep,

I promise the rest of my courage; if it's what you seek,

I promise you my soul; an open book if you wish to read.

Although these things are small, 

Their meaning to me stands tall.

I wish to keep these promises truly, 

If only you would not flee or treat them with cruelty.
