My Promise

I find that I am missing you more today

More than I usually do on any given day

Something inside me feels incomplete

Like my heart has suddenly forgotten how to beat

I don’t know why I feel this way

It’s not like it’s a new thing for you to be away

This hole inside of me causes my heart to ache

For the first time ever I fear that it might break

I know the distance between us is only temporary

I know that you will return to me eventually

I will find a way to keep my heart intact

That is my promise to you, that is my pact
