I promise to do things right.
The right guy,
The right schools,
The right friends.
But not right for everyone,
Only right for me.

I promise to wait.
Until now,
Until never,
Until tomorrow,
Until forever.

I promise to live.
When I'm lost,
When I'm there,
When I'm lively,
When I care.

I promise to be.
All that I can,
All that I am,
Nothing I'm not,
Everything I want.

I promise to learn.
What I need,
What I love,
What I see,
What I become.

I promise to love.
Every minute,
Every hour,
Every day,
Every year.

I promise to become.
What I want,
What I need,
What I promise,
What I believe.
