If the creature is not still on the battlefield at beginning of the End step, then you do not return this card to the battlefield.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

Putting the card onto the battlefield is optional. When the ability resolves, you can choose not to.

2007-05-01 · Wizards of the Coast

This card has received errata such that putting a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield is now optional. This means you no longer need a third-party to verify that you don't have any creature cards in your hand if you don't put something onto the battlefield.
