In this case love is not a promise

In this case love is not a promise
although I gave you my word
that it’s true, pure and simple
and something told me you cared for me too.
In this case love is a religion
with its doubts and everlasting questions:
is it still worth believing in,
are these feelings to be saved?
Can I sit beside you and hold your hand?
Let us pray together, show the world
we’re not afraid anymore,
together we’ll be so much stronger.
In this case love is not a promise,
only words caressing mouths and skin.
Your heart must feel some of the pain;
show me, my arms are still wide open.
In this case love is a star, shining forever;
look up to the sky, can you hear me calling?
In this case love is not a promise,
but I cannot silence this stubborn heart.
