For better or worse

The best thing about a promise
is the infinite hope it brings.
The worst thing about a promise, though
is the infinite hope it promised.

Just as words are meant to be savoured and forgotten,
Promises are meant to be made and forgotten.

Your promise to hold me forever
still keeps me warm.
even through the coldest night.

Your promise to love me
keeps me from loving anyone else.
