Promise

I remember a day when we sat around the fire

and laughed while we sang.

I remember a day where we jumped over walls

and skipped over puddles in the yard.

I remember a day we left for big cities,

and we paraded around streets,

and we bought the souvenir shop out—

But I remember you told me

Don’t forget there’s more than this

Don’t forget forever lives

Promise me—

you’ll remember that.
