I don’t want a ring
I want a promise
Not a promise that you’ll love me forever,
Because who would I be to force you to love me?
A forced heart never truly belongs or finds a happy home
I want you to promise that you’ll always be you
And stay true to you
Promise that you’ll be free
Allow me too, to be me
So that we can be not one
But two
Who choose to be
Hand in hand on this journey
Alongside the other
Two melodies playing in a symphony
Sometimes knocking each other off beat,
But always falling back to the same key
I don’t want a big day
I want every day
Every day to love each shade of you
Every rose red
Every violet blue
And if I can promise anything to you
It’s that I’ll always be me too
And if our paths ever lead us apart
And we have to turn a thousand corners
I will walk down every lonely road
Until it leads me back
To you
