Before I fall, promise me this.

Promise you’ll be caring and thoughtful.

Promise you’ll be fun and spontaneous.

Promise you’ll be honest and faithful.

Promise our dates will be unpredictable and entertaining.

But also promise that we can lay low inside when we want to.

Promise you’ll cuddle and watch movies with me on a rainy day.

Promise you’ll slow dance with me, even when there’s no music playing.

Promise you’ll give everything you have to your sports, and to us.

Promise you’ll try hard in school, even when you struggle.

Promise we’ll stick together even when things are rough.

Promise that we can get through anything as long as we have each other.

But most importantly,

Before I fall, promise you’ll be there to catch me?
