Promise me,

he tells me so calmly.

Dont ask why, just promise me.

A tear rolls down my face

and I whisper my reply.

He begs me not to worry,

tells me he always loved me,

and asks me to never forget about him.

I try to be brave.

I try to make him think Im fine

but i cant get his voice out of my head.

...promise me...

It echos threw my mind.

Why?

I ask

Why do you have to do this?

but he has no reply
