Broken Vows

I remember the kiss we shared
When we met for the first time and
The red envelope you handed me
With a letter of your open heart.
And I remember the last letter I wrote
And pinned with my earring
Before I left forever to chase my dream.

So, we had a promise;
A promise to build a future.
A pledge of love; left unfinished;
And a vow to grow old together.
And here we stand tonight;
Blocked on each other's device,
With dried tears on my cheeks
And broken poems in your notebook.

And you don't know
How I wish everynight
I could run back.
Run back to the alley
And hug you tight
And kiss you like the first time.
And tell you how much I want us.
How much sorry I am
For sleeping with another man
For every misunderstanding I had.

I wish I could turn the clock back.
And leave everything behind.
To get that moment again;
When I saw you for the last time;
On an August night
With hopes in our eyes
To meet again
In some foreign countryside.
And perhaps this the price
We have to pay for this life,
For every false promise we made,
For every broken vows we pledged.
