i promise i won't eat too much and
i promise i'll get just enough sleep and
i promise i'll do my homework and
i promise i won't cry watching tv and
i promise i'll answer the phone and
i promise i'll let my hair stay wet and
i promise i won't hold on too tight and
i promise i won't let go and
i promise i'm not desperate
i promise i'm sincere
i promise that i'll think before i speak
i promise i will hear you breathing and night, buried in the pillow on the sheets that are damp from too many blankets and i promise i will hear you singing in the shower and i will hear the floor creak beneath your steps from where i will lay holding a book
with the covers drawn
let the guard fall down
turning pages
i won't go if you won't stay here
