Promise
by BJ
You promised me forever.
On the day we met you took my hand in a firm grip and looked straight into my eyes without flinching. Since then you've stared down the demons inside of me; made 'em settle an' leave me alone. I like t' think I do th' same f' you. God knows I try.
"Did I worry you?" Your eyes soften as they light on me, concerned, caring... and I melt.
"Non, Cher, I wasn't worried. I knew you'd come back because y' promised." I smooth back dark hair, and step eagerly into your waiting arms... "Y' promised."
