"Promises"
                                      By Jim Driscoll

A day has barely

gone by, yet it

feels so much longer

without you here by my side.

I remember my promise to you,

"I will do my best not

to break your heart."

Only, in that mere moment

of time, I forgot to ask

you not to break mine.

Now it's been touched

by you.
