Love and pain; our promise

There is something I should know:

Sometimes, it is okay to let go. 

Summer is great, but maybe I need to let it snow. 

I need to let myself grow.

It is okay to love, but important to live;

Love is alive, and cannot be trapped within a dead thing.

Love demands to be heard, pain demands to be felt:

both, a living reminder of being human.

Love can be chained and pain can be freed, 

Both, a living rendition of my promise-

I will never leave your side, I said it with a smile;

Living up to it is difficult when instead of being with you-

I am behind.

Your happiness is a living reminder of our promise, 

where I am living it behind the scenes:

Behind the veil of your stainless steel;

Protecting, defending-

You are the body, I am the dress. 
I protect you, I defend.
