Starfilled Nights

We lay in your hammock under the white full moon.
That was a really great night-one of the first.
That very same night you made a promise.
I made you swear it.
You didn't want to, but you did, to please me.
That night was a really long time ago.
I still hear your heartbeat.
But as I lie hear alone with your ring on the floor,
Now I understand why you were hesitant to swear.
I'll just try to stay asleep.
Pretend you're still here and your promise remains unbroken.
