one simple promise

by Antwan Fields - Aries

i have made lots of promises that i could not keep 
but i know better now
i don't say a word but you know 
that i am going to be there.

even when they wanted to toss me out i thought of you when i came back and i wasn't leaving until it was time 
i lasted a while and even thought you were the one 
but it turned out not to be the case
even as i waited for you to stop being angry and sad i never
gave up on our being friends 
i promised the world, but here's one promise ill never take back:
because you are my friend, ill always be there
that's my promise

Reason for writing:

    this is for my friends who didn't turn on me the way my family did when i told them i was gay. also for those who stuck by me and proved they were my friends
