Kept

 Promises - like the kind you make in a meadow, surrounded by friends and a sea of yellow flowers

Hearts - on fire or at least hot enough to keep us warm on a winter's night

Secrets - nothing dangerous or severe, like what we bought for Christmas and can't wait to see you open

Wishes - these are mostly for tomorrow, but we reserve the right to have some for yesterday as well

Dreams - the ones that woke us up from a deep sleep, as well as the ones that kept us deep in slumber

Hopes - for a change to come, and for things to remain the same

Fears - of a change that will come, or that things will remain the same

Nights - by the sea, in the mountains, through the trees

Mornings - sometimes early, sometimes late, but always by your side

Days - So many now that we have stopped keeping track

Treasures - the kind you keep in a box or the ones behind your eyes

House - the one that we share, the one where we live, the one we come back to

Songs - in our hearts and in our minds, and sometimes right out loud

Stories - the ones we tell everyone and the ones we only tell one another

Love - alive and well, though contents may have shifted during shipping

Vows - that whole cherish and devotion type thing

Together - You and me. For keeps.
