A Promise Kept by Joan SerratelliThey met when she was 4
He was 6
and had no use for her
But they became friends
And the friendship strenghed
as the years went on
She became his conscience
She could keep his dirty little secrets
and he protected her
They saw each other every day
He would ALWAYS be there for her
Best friends
But there came a time when He had to leave
She was the only who knew why
Again, she kept his secret
He disappered
But She knew he'd be back
She kept track of everything that happened
in his abscence
And he did reappear
after all, He promised her
that he always be there for her
She kept his secrets
And he kept his
He was gone 16 years
She knew he was alive
She would "feel"
a certain chill
if he died
....one day he would come home
and he did
The friendship weathered every storm
It was like he NEVER left
Sometimes things work out
He would never leave again
