Make me a promise that you can fulfill

Love should always sparkle and be profound

Find the compromise that evades us still

 

Novel brings the smile against our will

Predict the other’s action and sound

Make me a promise that you can fulfill

 

Spend time to develop the romance skill 

Sweet memories record the voyage bound

Find the compromise that evades us still

 

Eventual gloom peaks atop the hill

We turn our heads to past light on the ground

Make me a promise that you can fulfill

 

Consecutive dark nights destroy and kill

Selfish pride and anger come round

Find the compromise that evades us still

 

Dear love, I hold close to what brought us thrill

Before the events that have led us frowned

Make me a promise that you can fulfill

Find the compromise that evades us still
