Promise me this, boy on sidewalk. That your personality is as warm as the hoodie she is wearing. That you could never hurt her. That she is the only one whom gets to wear any of your articles of clothing. That your hoodie isn’t the security blanket, you are.
Promise me this, girl alone in theatre. That you are not waiting for him to return. That you realize that he stood you up and he is not at all worth the trouble. That you are just hoping to enjoy the greatest flick of the summer alone.
Promise me this, boy holding my hand. That you will not make me anymore (empty) promises.
