intention

i don't believe in promises...
too much can happen to stop the promise kept...
i believe in intention...
i believe in the effort set forth to keep that promise...
and if, for some reason,
that promise is not kept...
i believe in waiting just long enough for the reason...
i believe in the intention behind the promise and...
if i know that the intention was pure...
and the promise maker did all he could...
then, as crazy as this may sound...
in a sense...
in essence...
this promise unkept...
was indeed kept...
because the intention was there...clear...pure...real...
the intention wanted to become reality...and i...
i feel a need to honor that intention...
even as the broken promise threatens to break my soul...
i won't let my soul break because i know...
he tried...he tried with all he knew...
he tried...
his intention was right...
even as he wasn't right...
his intention was right...
