I made a promise. One I begged you not to ask.

You asked so much of me.

I knew I would end up hurting you. I know I will hurt myself.

You needed me to promise you.

It's a promise we both know would be broken. I always end up messing up.

You refused to let it go.

It's a promise I've made one too many times. It's one that is always broken.

You told me that you wouldn't let me break it.

I might let you think I've kept it, I might not. Who knows.

You said you wanted me to be happy.

I think it's bad that i make this promise but I never keep it. Maybe this time will be different.

You said you believed in me.

I know it won't. I know I'll go back to my old habits.

You said you loved me.

I loved you but I'm selfish. I wanted to try for you; I didn't.

You refused to let me go.

Please promise me?

I promise.
