I took a vow to stick around
Committing to support and be present in both good and challenging times.
Through blue skies and through all the stormy clouds
Expressing readiness to endure challenges together, using weather metaphors.
And when you fall down
Promising to be there for the person during difficult times.
I’ll be there

And I still see the girl
Reflecting on the past, recalling a promise to marry someone.

But true love can take the sickness
Stressing the enduring nature of true love, even in the face of sickness.
