The Gentle Weight of a Promise
In the hush between heartbeats,
I place my vow in your hands
not heavy like stone,
but soft as morning light.
A promise is not a chain,
it is a bridge
made from trust,
steady beneath our steps.
And if the winds should rise,
or shadows stretch long,
know this
my word will not falter,
my love will not fade.
For promises, when true,
are not spoken once
they are lived,
day after day,
like breath itself.
Quote
A promise is not a chain to bind, but a bridge to carry love across time.
