The Promise

Times have changed now,
From those back then.
Talking on the phone,
And meeting in person.
Laughing on jokes,
Crying in distress.
Praying in the night,
While giving cops a bribe.
Loving the sunset,
Thinking of the sunrise.
Suddenly then you left,
To a world unknown to humankind.
A world where the soul travels,
Unknown to me n everyone alike.
But I promise.
Every dream you had,
The wishes you kept.
About your parents n friends,
Me n everyone else.
I will keep each off them alive,
One by one n step by step.
Those thoughts of yours,
Those moments of yours.
Will be kept alive,
Through love in all of light n dark.
