Just One Promise

It took a while. Time to figure out what I felt.
And all through my tussle within, I thought
Thought the clarity of my feelings would make it easier for me
An easier life for me, a sense of calm

But it's not to be. It's fear that I sense in me now
A fear of "what ifs", a fear of separation
Only now do I understand what it means
To love, to want, to need, to be afraid

Never have I missed anyone so much
So badly, so dearly
Never have I been so afraid of the feelings of pain
Never have I been in love like this, never will

Just promise me it'll be fine
Just promise me you'll be with me forever
