My Promise!

I tried finding words to state my promise to you. I wanted to pen it so that I would never lose it and it served as a reminder to you that you had a place in this world to belong and come to. Spent a long time drafting, deleting and adding things and feverently praying that you will never have to come to me(hard to believe but I never want you coming back to me!) and also censoring things enough so that no one got offended. Then I finally gave up and found a song to embody my promises :: Scott Stapp's "Only One".
I pray again that I won't have to keep a single word of my promise. 

I don't even know if it is worth anything but for whatever it is worth, here it is.

Scott Stapp's "Only One"



You can go, you can leave this town. 
Forget about the people and the places, 
and the faces that have let you down 
You can hide, you can change your name 
But the fear will always find you, 
if it’s coming from inside you, 
so you’ve gotta change 

So if it’s the same to you, you could stay with me 
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams 
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you 

Even when you feel so low like you might let go 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the last one giving up on you 

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one. 

If you leave, tell me where you'd go? 
Would you lock yourself inside a place, 
so no one had the chance to face you on your own 

Cuz when we fall down, we can stay down 
But the freedom that we wanna find, 
is only found when we’re off the ground. 

So if it’s the same to you, you could stay with me. 
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams 
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you. 

Even when you feel so low like you might let go 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the last one giving up on you. 

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one 

So if it’s the same to you, you could stay with me 
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams 
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you. 

Even when you feel so low like you might let go 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the last one giving up on you. 

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one. 

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one

My thought that I guess doesn't count any more!

She screamed: “You were not there when I needed you but you held me when no one stood by me!”
She cried: “I was alone here, waiting while you went away, I kept waiting!”
She pleaded, “You insulted me incessantly, and I took it all!”
She charged, “When I didn’t give you a minute, you took the wrath out on me.”
She cringed, “You would disappear for long and I would wait here clueless, crying & weeping not knowing what was wrong!”
She accused, “I have taken everything that you threw at me but thrashed me when I wanted to live.”
She reminded, “But I have always loved you.”


How do I tell you, “I have felt the same with this man that you select. How do I tell you that I feel a part of him that I don’t know I cant fathom but feel like it is dark. Darker than mine and so I am not able to see. You made a decision, for a second time. Didn't bother to ask me how I felt. I wanted to tell you to stop and think but I had to pull back. Wish we shared blood. I love you but for this you don’t have my blessing.”
