TO YOU I PROMISE



I kept on dreaming of a happy life
together with that one soul I will turn to
whenever I’m in need of happiness, walking through the hot desert of heartbreak,
crossing each and every ocean of pain
— and sorrows that comes my way, searching for eternal love,
for generation after generation, I kept on failing to make my dream come through,
going from one planet of rejection to another,
but finally, at the end, I met the lady
I have always wanted to be with,
now, it’s time for me to fulfill the promise I took.

I promise to be with you through thick and thin,
I will walk with you pass the route of hardship,
breaking through the walls of sorrows and fears,
I promise to be the boat that
will help you cross the ocean of heartbreak,
I promise to be your knight in shining armor
— just like you are to me, a lucky charm.

I promise to offer you bountiful gift
of happiness that money can’t buy, a life filled with soft
and comfortable pillows of love and affection,
I will always be the shield that will protect you from each
and every arrow of pain that comes your way,
to you, I promise all of these, baby.
