promise me you won't

promise me you won't cry
unless i'm there to hold you
promise me you won't 
try to be 
anyone other than yourself
the person i fell in love with
and am falling deeper 
in love with still
(we're just beginning
to really feel...)
after misunderstandings and 
cruel words kind words too many 
cigarettes too little sleep 
terrifying vulnerability
without you i'm lost
at sea
with no land in sight no course
drifting further out 
into a blue unknown
