Re-Writes..."A Promise"

"i'll look at her and this is what i'm going to say. 'i value us, the time we've spent together, this bond of friendship that we have. promise me this. promise me that no matter what may happen between us, we will maintain our friendship. we will continue to keep our relationship intact. friends forever. where only death will be able to temporarily break the closeness, the bond, that we shared in life. that we won't drift from each other like others may have. that we'll strive to keep a part in each other's lives, each other's hearts. because i can't imagine you not being in my life. and you'll always have a piece of my heart. that piece that no one else will ever be able to have. that piece with your name on it. like once uncharted territory, it seems you've claimed that piece for your own. i hope i have a piece of yours. forever.'"
