I remember how, when this life got too hard
We used to go to the old park by the station
The one that was by the cherry trees
You used to push me, until I reached the sky
Those moments were always the ones the lasted forever
The ones that never escaped my hand
You always had a smile on your face
Talking about changing the world, to escape this place
But you never knew how much this hurt
To say the words that broke my heart
I never wanted you to leave me
I used to hold on to your arm, crying for you to stop
You just gave me a smile, and held me tight
"Mikey I`ll never leave you, not even for the world"
The words that you said to me always made me happy
The years went by and we began to grew up
But those nights at the park never stopped
Even as teenagers we never gave up the moments
The three years that separated us never mattered
At school we were outcasts, the ones left for nothing
But you made friends, and I hated them all
They took away the one thing that I loved the most
The nights spent at the park, with me in your lap
Looking up at the stars, pointing to our future
I hated you, you couldn't`t see how much
My hands were filled with tears, my glasses fogged up
You became obsessed with changing the world
And leaving our childhood promise
We were adults now and it pained me to see
How much we had changed over the years
People adored us now, begging to catch a glimpse of us
We had friends now,the ones that loved us for ourselves
But you had forgotten everything that we held dear
I just couldn't`t take it anymore, the tear building up
You sat down next to me, leaving our friends alone
"Mikey, what`s wrong?" you asked, holding me tight
I couldn't`t say it, the tears building up
Did you forget everything that you promised to me?
"Shut up! Why can`t your remember our promise?!"
Your grin went away, your eyes wide
And I left you like that: broken
I ran away from that moment, away to our place
The park from our childhood, gently swinging
On the swing that you used to push
Why couldn't`t you see how much I loved you?
The nights spent crying over how much my heart hurt
I loved you so much, but you couldn't`t see
I heard a car come up, but I didn`t look to see
Your steps getting closer, the tears coming down
Standing in front of me, I couldn't`t to talk
"Mikey" you said wrapping your arms around me
Our childhood promises and dreams were all gone
But I wanted to be like this forever
"Why, why does it hurt so much?" I cried
Loving a person shouldn't`t hurt this much
I broke down, crying into your arms
You held me tight, whispering into your my ear
"Mikey , it`s alright. The promise is still there"
My eyes went wide, looking up into your eyes
And in that moment everything stopped
"I love you too, Mikey"
Sometimes in life, we have to go through so much pain
To realize what is right in front of us
And as we sit together beneath the cherry trees
Your arms wrapped around me, humming a song
Our promises whisks away, on our childhood memories
