Will you promise me

That next year you won’t forget

About me

Next year

So different

So new

Easy to lose the old

Don’t count me among the silver

I want to be your gold

When I ask you about then

I know your answer is no

When I ask you about next

I don’t know what to expect

But when I ask you about now

I want you to say yes

Yes to me

Yes to us

Yes to the gold

Don’t forget

When everything has changed

Don’t forget me

Little me

Don’t let me hide from you

Seek me out and find

Don’t wait for me to crawl back

I want you to want me

But

I know you’ll forget

And when I ask you about then, next, and now

You will say no

All I’ve ever known you to say

Why would you say yes to me?

No

No more gold

I’m silver

Bronze

Tin

But I want to be your gold

And I can’t let the thought slide

Slippery as it is

I want to be your gold

But only you can let me be

With a

Yes
