You Promised
I waited
For you
But you never
Came
I watched the sunrise
I cried as it set
The moonlight
Engulfed me
The stars
Spelled out you name
I stood in the ocean
Frozen in time
The wind took me back
To when you said
You would always be mine
I rode the white horses
I sailed over clouds
My heart was aching
But my hope
Never gave out
My voice got lost
In the thunder
It smothered my calls
So you never heard me
That’s why you never came
I am still waiting
Like I promised I would
I’ll wait here
Forever
I know
You will come
If I wait
I’ll wait til
You are ready
Because you promised
You would
