The Promise

I'm looking at you
Like it's the first time
Although we've met before
In a past life
Before centuries
Of pain and strife
I want to say so much
But I can't hide
That I'm choking up
On the inside
I let you down
But I will make it right

This is my promise
I'm never letting go of your hand
This my promise
I will forever hold you
In my arms
Up to my last breath
I'll keep you
Safe from harm

Remove your armor
And leave it outside
I know you're scared to death
So am I, but
We didn't come this far
To cower and hide

We will reunite
In a next life
And hand in hand we'll bask
In the sunlight
Like partners
In the most
Perfect crime

This is my promise
I'm never letting go of your hand
