Will you promise me
That next year you won’t forget
About me
Next year
So different
So new
Easy to lose the old
Don’t count me among the silver
I want to be your gold
When I ask you about then
I know your answer is no
When I ask you about next
I don’t know what to expect
But when I ask you about now
I want you to say yes
Yes to me
Yes to us
Yes to the gold
Don’t forget
When everything has changed
Don’t forget me
Little me
Don’t let me hide from you
Seek me out and find
Don’t wait for me to crawl back
I want you to want me
But
I know you’ll forget
And when I ask you about then, next, and now
You will say no
All I’ve ever known you to say
Why would you say yes to me?
No
No more gold
I’m silver
Bronze
Tin
But I want to be your gold
And I can’t let the thought slide
Slippery as it is
I want to be your gold
But only you can let me be
With a
Yes
