The Last Promise

I don’t know how long we have 

To finish all the stories,

We once began.

I don’t know when I’ll have to leave,

That I’ll never come back

Like I promised I would.

But when I do, and I’m sorry I have to

I hope you remember me,

Once, every while

With a silent smile.

I don’t know if you’ll shed tears,

But if you do, I won't be able 

To come and wipe them,

Like I used to do.

Our stories will never end,

We’ll always have just

One more tale to tell.

There’ll always be that one thing

That I forgot to say.

But for once, I’m going to try

To say it all one day.

Hoping , praying, begging

That it won’t be our last.

I have never broken a promise,

And to return, one I’ll make

But that’ll be my last,

The only one I’ll break.
