Promise By the River

We both made a promise yet neither to keep It's easier to break than remain Bound by words and a loving connection None of that matters anymore It was all fantasy You know it better than I When it was over you mentioned a river A river flows and moves on Isn't it funny where we made our promise? Beside that river where we searched for hours We held hands and stared into our souls You began the promise Promise me whatever problems we face Whatever comes our way we will fix I loved you So I promised with you The love we felt together was real More real than anything Before you I wouldn't consider marriage I would save your first kiss until we were there A year later a problem emerged Your emotions engaged to someone new I reminded you of our promise Your response an analogy of a river I was powerless In the end we both broke this promise.
