The importance of promise

I'm not sure anyone in my life has promised me anything.
It's funny how lack of a promise can make you feel vulnerable, forcing you to fend for yourself.
Those who know me know I never promise. I take them seriously and that's a lot of duty for a boy.
Growing older I wish I had made more promises. I wish I still kept them and could think back to any I broke and why.
Now with the growing need for meaning and relation I dabble in promise. I start with simple things. Things that would seem trivial and arbitrary to those in my life but unknown to them are the biggest and most important things to me.

I could only make a promise to someone I trust, which is odd since I'd be the one to be held accountable, but then if someone I trust has influenced or requested a promise, I do trust it is for the best.

A man needs a code... 'morals'... Something to dedicate himself to.
This defines the man.
But it all means nothing if he does not exercise or place them into practice.
Another shade to add to the color of our depth.
This defines the individual.

"You lost it!"
It's ok, I can always try and get it back... If I want to.
The monsters in the head are now but play mates so no urgencies here.
Just a calm approach to destruction and fear.
Competitive banta dies away to a down to earth conversation about who we are. Money is passed, signature signed.
I have interest for you.
You remind me of what I was once after and so infatuated with.
Legs exposed but responsibility weighted in my background I shall only pursue something true with you. So warm palm will heat the distance you feel and I extend my arm in offer to bridge the gap in what you feel you are missing.
No savior here, a simple partner in adventure.
