The Promise

He made a promise to his best friend.
A promise to which time had no end.

A promise to be friends forever.
A promise that would keep them together.

She said there's no point, nothing ever lasts forever.
The promise is such, that someone's to be scarred forever.

Three years since that promise,
Now parted by distance,
Their friendship would never be a good riddance.

But,
Neither modest promises,
Nor nature's cruel plots,
Can compete with time.

Nothing lasts forever.
Ask him, he'll tell you, 
That time comes over.

"Oh how I wish I knew,
I'd be left alone by you.
You've left this world and gone far away.
No point of such a promise, I still hear you say."
