A little promise
just a simple little promise,
it meant so much to me
when you made it....
Made me feel so much better
made me feel like it was important.

It was the only thing
I asked of you,
the only thing
that meant
so very much
to me.

I guess
it didn't mean
as much to you
as it did to me...
I guess I failed
to make you see...

And it was just
a little promise...

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Yes, it hurts when the one we love doesn't realize just how important some little things are to us...great write, GS!

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...

Trust is such an important thing and once a promise is broken it's hard to trust again.  I wish you my best and hope this is only a story.

I understand. I have met some who make promises quickly, carelessly and forgetfully. They just don't get it.  Joyce

You have all touched my heart with your words.  I wish.....oh how I wish that it only were a story, and that things will work for the best.  Michael, you are correct, once a promise is made, then broken, the trust takes time to build again.  Thank you.....all.

lol.....I just received it, thank you so much for that.  *s*  Love always travels a path, it comes to many, and it leaves.  It is what we take from that love that counts.  Hugs.
