The Promise

I promise not to speak
I promise to stay quiet and listen
To every word pronounced
And stay a kitten.

I promise to help you
I promise to stay
I promise to wait
For more than a day.

Take your time
And take mine too
For the love we have
Very few do.

Take me to parties
Take me to your friends’
Smile I shall
From both ears’ ends.

Be the good one,
I will.
Less talk, sweet smile
Looks that can kill.

The brand manager
Of today’s man.
Thy spouse
Thy fan.

Speak as I will
Only on occasions that mandate
Speak as I will
Only on that particular date.

I promise to be by your side
In every endeavor.
That I abide.
But please, do me a favor.

Don’t ask me to speak
For I shall not.
Never after you told me not to
Never after we fought.
