Promises

"Sometimes people don’t understand the promises they’re making when they make them,” I said. 

Isaac shot me a look. “Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That’s what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway. Don’t you believe in true love?” 

I didn’t answer. I didn’t have an answer. But I thought that if true love did exist, that was a pretty good definition of it.

“We’re always being made promises," she said. "You make them yourself and you listen to others giving theirs. Politicians are always going on about providing a better quality of life for people as they get older, and a health service in which nobody ever gets bedsores. Banks promise you high interest rates, some food promises to make you lose weight if you eat it, and body creams guarantee old age with fewer wrinkles. Life is quite simply a matter of cruising along in your own little boat through a constantly changing but never-ending stream of promises. And how many do we remember? We forget the ones we would like to remember, and we remember the ones we’d prefer to forget. Broken promises are like shadows dancing around in the twilight. The older I become, the more clearly I see them."

I made a promise to you before you came into my life....
I will never betray you. I will never endanger your life with my carelessness or impetuosity. I will fight for and with you. I will always have your back whenever you might need me. I will not leave you, and I will not lie to you, and if you will be patient and forgiving, I will learn how to forgive too. Because you’ve become the most important thing in the world to me. I’ll give everything I have to you, along with everything I can be, if only you will do the same.... Because somehow it’s going to be okay. Because I could never endanger my mate by throwing my own life away....
You need to know that you can trust me. I heard what you said. I heard everything you said, and while I’m still struggling with all of it, I want you to know that somehow it’s going to be okay....
I might not know the details of how I’m going to survive, but I know that I will, because I could never
endanger someone who was even a possible mate by throwing my own life away.
