I Promised

I swore I wouldn't falter.
I promised I wouldn't cry.
I swore I wouldn't fall in love,
but it was all a lie.
I promised I'd let go.
I swore I'd look away.
I promised I would never wish
for anyone to stay.
But swearing is never simple
and promises always break.
I swore I wouldn't fall in love
but that was a mistake.
I swore I wouldn't smile.
I promised I'd be empty.
I swore I'd be just another stanger
until you looked at me.
You made me break my promise
and swear to up above
that never again would I ever promise
to never fall in love.
