Reassurance

Will we drift and grow apart?
Will we stay the way we are?
Will we go deeper in love?
Will we forget about us?
Will we remain friends?
Will we lose in the end?
You're ready to commit,
but can you answer this?

Will we stay the way we are?
We are. We are.
The way we are?
We are. We are.
The way we are?

We will foster closeness.
We will keep growing.
We will mature our love.
We will nurture us.
We will always be friends.
We will ensure the other wins.
I am committed
and confident as I say this.

We will stay the way we are.
We are. We are.
In love: We are. We are. We are.
In trust: We are. We are. We are.
With time: We are.
