Do you remember?
I had once been your darling
You promised to be my harbour
Protected me from night to morning
Do you remember?
I had once been your inspire
You said my smile gave you power
Delighted your life forever
Do you remember you made thousands of promises?
I trust you all the time
But how about you?
Love is something powerful but fragile.
Talking about a "love relationship" is easily associated with a warm feeling, which is not always true. My parents have been acquainted with each other for more than 30 years. They even had the sweetest moment of writing love letters to establish a strong connection. However, this kind of stuff still can't keep their relationship well.
This work, "What you had promised to me", desires to present the fragility of a relationship.
(The quotes from hundreds of love letters from my parents written in Chinese)
