My promise

I made a promise to someone who is no longer with us someone who really didn't know when there time would be up..2 years ago I called my friends mom to see how she was doing knowing that she had not been doing well as we talked she said to me promise me something.. I said ok what's up?? She began to ask me to watch out for her daughter she asked that I not give up on her that I would keep pushing her to be better to strive for greatness.. that I would continue to look after her... So I was when my personal feelings go in the way..
I've always felt responsible for her like I owed it to her to be better for her I always said I wouldn't leave until I knew she was safe were she was at safe with whomever she was with.. I never wanted to give up on her in fear that I wasn't keeping my promise... Love is all I have to give but it seems to me you have mastered the art of using me.. I don't feel right trying to be there for you when its clear...you'll never be there for me in that way..
