and the cloudless sky is the deepest blue
and the sun is hot and the shade feels like liquid
and i remember standing on the bluff with you
11 years ago yesterday
you, me, the sky and the sea
and what felt like forever stretched out in front of us
i promised you my heart, and to stand by your side
and in that moment i told the truth
it was only later that i realized some promises cannot be kept
because, me? i chose to go on living.
and each day
i break the same promise
and
i do.
