Do you remember that promise we made?
It was a cold november day
The leaves had already turned and they blew in the wind
We walked hand in hand down that old cracked road
Going nowhere at a steady pace
As we walked past the desolate
fairgrounds I turned to you
The light reflected off your face during these twilight hours
As you turned slowly to me the sun caught the color of your iris's
making your eyes seem clear, I could almost fall into them
We walked on slowly keeping pace
But I could not bring my eyes to part from yours
You had me transfixed and I you
The cold wind nipped at our noses and stung our cheeks
When I scruntched my face up against the wind you laughed
My mouth broke into a smile and playfully I pushed you away
You let go for a second but grabbed my hand again
You pulled me towards you and held me close
"I could never break our connection" you whispered in my ear
You brought your hand to my face and gently carressed it
Your hand, though cold and calloused sent electric shocks through me
Your unmistakable touch I loved and longed for
I needed it like an addict needed their fix
We slipped through a gap under the fairground fences
and watched the sunset from the grandstands
We watched the sky fade from pink to orange and we held each other close
I didn't want this moment to end
I wanted to stay here forever
It was beautiful, you were beautiful
Your breath smelled of sweetness as you moved closer to my face
I could almost feel the heat reverberating from your face
Our lips locked and all these feelings of love, pleasure, and euphoria erupted in my mind
It was a long, slow, sweet kiss
The kind of kiss that you give someone whom you deeply care for
At least that's what I thought
Before the sun set I told you I didn't want this moment to end
"But this is eternal, we are forever," you said "Promise me we'll be forever."
I promised you with all my heart and then the sun had set
leaving that moment in the past just as a sweet memory
Now I walk down this old cracked road alone
I run my fingers lightly across the fairground fence
hearing the swift dull thud of each finger hitting the fence as I walk past
The sun shines lightly on my face and I am sure that my eyes look almost transparent
I smile at the thought but its a half smile, its not all there
I stop at the part of the fence when where the gap used to be
They fixed it some time ago
I lean my head against the fence and ponder at the site of our memories, my memories
I stare out onto the fairgrounds where the grandstands still reside and I wonder
I remember that cold november day perfectly
Was I truly naive? Or did I fall for a fake?
I promised you that we'd be forever but did you promise me?
A promise can't work with only one person can it?
So I wonder, can you break a promise that you didn't make in the first place?
If so, that's what you did to me, thats what you took from me
