Promises Unheld - Niko Jarell
We were forever in the air
Like it would always linger there
Spoken plans of distant years
As if they were already near
Your hand steady over mine
Tracing futures in a line
Every always felt so sure
Every stay secure
But time has its own reply
Even to the sweetest lie
Unkept promises remain
Not in anger, not in blame
Just in echoes of your voice
And the weight of every choice
You said we'd never drift apart
Said you knew my fragile heart
Unkept promises still fall
Like pictures from the wall
Calendars we never used
Trips we planned but never chose
Boxes filled with wedding dreams
Folded into maybes and in-betweens
I don't curse who we became
I don't need a place to blame
For words once gold and bright
Fading soft to light
Some vows are meant to last
Some were only built to pass
Unkept promises don't scream
They whisper through a dream
They don't shatter, they don't burn
They slowly overturn
Every forever that we drew
Lost its shape when faced with true
Unkept promises I see
Were never meant for me
Maybe we both meant them then
Two believers saying when
Not knowing hearts can change
Our distance rearrange
Unkept promises let go
Like petals in the snow
I won't carry what you swore
Like a weight I wore before
If love returns it must be real
More than words we only feel
Unkept promises
Now free
No longer holding me
Unkept promises
Fade slow
And so do we
