Promises

Young love
Bloomed inside
Childhood friends

They promised each other
They would never grow apart
They would always be together
They would be his and hers forever

Promises made during trusting gazes
Promises made between tender kisses
Promises made behind a hidding spot
Promises made before

Too early

Too naive
Too young
Young love
Gave birth to another child

He had to find a job and found relief in being away
She had to drop school and dropped tears almost everyday
And those beatiful promises
Became silly words only fools say
