The Promises of Love

The promises of love;
Are they too good to be true?
Can they be fulfilled forever?
Have I ever broken them to you?

Are we both gonna be able
To be by each other's side?
Will we be able to understand each other
Or will we just pretend we tried?

When we say "til death do us part",
Is that really a long time?
Not really, when you consider that
Life can end at the drop of a dime.

Do we have the courage and the patience
To withstand both "in sickness and in health"?
Or the dark side of despair and desolation
Compared to the happiness of wealth?

You see, love is a lot more than we all imagine.
We all experience it in different ways,
And possess different capabilities
To hopefully fulfill the rest of our days.

So for whatever reason you love someone,
Think about what you can and cannot do
In order to make that person happy
And hope your promises of love stay true.
