Promises

I sleep.

I just close my eyes,

And it’s another world,

Another life.

Where I made you stay,

Made no mistakes,

And broke no promises.

I dream.

I just go with it,

To the perfect world,

The perfect life.

Where I smile every day,

My heart never breaks,

And I kept my promises.

I wake.

I just swim up to light,

To the same old world,

The same old life.

Where it’s the same each day,

Our hearts still ache,

And we forgot our promises.
