The Danger in Forever

Why do we make promises
And set emotions in stone?
How can we assure each other
That we'll never walk this world alone?
We can't.

How can you guarantee you'll always feel this way
And that I'll always be enough?
How do you know your journey has ended,
And that you've finally found the one?
You don't.

How can I go to sleep each night
And expect the sun to rise in the same place?
How can I assure you
That my heart will never change?
I won't.

Promises are dangerous
And unfair in every way.
It's naive to promise forever
When you can't promise today.
