the promise
“you’re not like those girls. i wont treat you the way i treat them. you’re too special to me. i won’t hurt you. if i tried to, i will hate myself. why i’m here? i’m here because i feel like i’m bound to save you. from what? from anything i guess. from a scraped knee. a lonely night. a miserable day. a rejection. a failure. a broken heart. when you’re ready to make your choice, to take a stand and decide who you wanna be with, i’ll take you freely as mine to have.”
by my bestfriend, Carmelo King. Comes to me as a whisper, but really it’s a message of a promise.
