The Promise 

I can hear the pain in your voice

I can see it in your eyes

Your smile is cloudy

Your mood a bit stormy

You’re the first to admit

That you just don’t care

This is how you appear to be

You used to have a wonderful light

In your eyes

Laughter in your voice

Your smile could lighten up a dimly lit room

Your mood was always like a sunny day

You used to care about everything

This is how I remember you

The pain in your voice will lessen

Your eyes will be bright again

Your smile will widen

Your mood will change like the weather

You will then admit

That you do care

This is how you will be

Maybe not today

Maybe not tomorrow

As time goes by

The sorrow you feel will go away

I promise
