A Lover's Promise

• I promise you the stars
• I promise you the moon
• I promise I would love you
• For an eternity of June's
• 
  
• I say I would swim the ocean
• Cross the desert with one shoe
• I claim I would move mountains
• If they keep me away from you
• 
  
• I protest my love for you
• Is deeper than the sea
• Higher than the highest star
• And further than it could be.
• 
  
• I promise to take you around the world
• To some small romantic place
• Where we would lie in the sun
• And the nectar of life we'd taste.
• 
  
• Yes I promise all these things
• As so many lovers do
• Forgive me if I exaggerate
• And my promises do not come true
