She placed her head on my chest
And with her soft voice she told me that my heart beats in two beats
Holding her close and promising her that I will never leave was all I could do...
I...
Don't...
I...
Never...
Break any promises I make...
I don't make promises like leaves falling of a tree during autumn...
I only make promises that lasts for a lifetime...
When she asked me to leave her...
I told her I can't and I will never do that...
I told her that I made a promise to her and I will keep it...
"Promises are meant to be broken..." she told me
And just like that she was gone...
I called...
Texted...
And I waited...
I only get to sleep three hours in a day
Two of those hours I always get lost in the memory of her...
And I waited...
Two beats in a second
A hundred and twenty beats in a minute
Seven thousand two hundred beats in an hour
A hundred and seventy two thousand eight hundred beats in a day I waited...
Days turned into a week...
And the weeks turned into a month...
I still waited...
I survived a suicidal attack...
I was back to square one...
Alone...
Broken...
But still waited...
Her 21st birthday passed...
I bought her some gifts but I don't know how I'll give it to her...
We talked but she said it will never be in person...
Only get to come in contact with her 5 times after seven months...
Gave her her gifts...
But she never really came back...
She met someone else...
And I still waited for her...
Almost thirty-three million eight hundred sixty-eight thousand eight hundred heart beats after she left, I still waited...
Fighting to keep that promise...
I asked her if there's any chance of her coming back...
I wished I never did...
At last I broke my promise...
And now I promise to keep my promise broken, as long as this heart of mine beats in two that promise will always remain broken...
