Promises You Kept

You made lots of promises to me.

Promises which you kept.

All of them.

Only if you could break just one of them.

Just one.

You promised me sunflowers.

And you surprised me with one randomly,

In the middle of a bad day,

In the middle of a meeting,

In the middle of my solo trip,

In the middle of the night,

Saying the cheesiest of the lines I’ve ever heard,

“Are you the sun, because I’m a sunflower and I want to look at you the entire time.”

You promised me impromptu songs.

In the middle of the park,

In the middle of our dinner date,

In the middle of a fight. (Which made me laugh, damn you.)

In the middle of the busy road,

Stopping all the vehicles,

And actually asking the cop to dance with you.

You promised me nerd.

Unending discussions about the Night King,

Unending Disney marathons,

Unending appreciations for J. K. Rowling,

Unending tears while watching This Is Us,

Which reminds me, I don’t know who do I love more;

You or Jack.

You promised to leave me.

But, aren’t promises made to be broken?

There are few like you though, everyone said.

A man of his words.

The one who keeps his promises all the time.

You kept your promises.

I wish you hadn’t. Or not.

FLY, I SAY
